This is actually a really easy fix.

da24f7d939/src/cascadia/TerminalSettingsEditor/Profiles.cpp (L155-L160)

We're already "sorting" the fonts, but at one point, I switched from storing a list of hstrings to a list of Fonts. It's just a matter of adding some kind of comparator to that sort call.

Was digging through issues trying to find a "font autocomplete" issue, and wound up here 🤷‍♂️

I noticed @cinnamon-msft's screenshot has a dropdown containing all the font faces, whilst mine just has a textbox:

I'm obviously still able to manually enter a font face, but autofill makes way more sense.

I'm running the latest preview version (1.7.572.0), so I'm guessing this feature will be contained in one of the future releases (1.8.771.0)... or is this a genuine 🐛 bug?

@smholvoet The font face input was only changed to a ComboBox in #9275, which hasn't shipped to any official builds yet
