First of all, don't take my stubbornness as an indication that I believe you don't know the difference between alphabetical- and non-alphabetical-ordered lists

Secondly, I keep pulling up random flights and all cleared pax *appear* to be listed alphabetically. Without exception. So maybe as an MM you're "isolated"? Or maybe it's a bug. But clearly F, H, Z and P does not jive with what I'm seeing.

Beats me.

ETA: I wonder if your own request / cleared upgrade is placed at the top of the list for "booked" flights. All the lists I've looked at have been "tracked," so maybe the app is smart enough to differentiate between a flight you're on and one you're watching. In the case of the former, you're put at the top of the cleared list, in the case of the latter, it's shown alphabetically.
