How to organize Finder search results alphabetically?

When searching from the Finder, results display organized by date range. I want to display file names alphabetically. Search used to work this way. I have no idea what I did to change the display.

Do the search, then click the Name header at the top of the results table. The files/folders will be listed in alpha order. With successive clicks on Name you can change the order to reverse alpha.


AFAIK there is no way to change the default behavior.
