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.

Change your view options.
Do a search. Then in the header area, change the View to "List" and change the Sort Order to "Name." See below for the icons to click to make these changes:
Martin, You are still not understanding my problem. My view is now, and always has been, set to List. And results have always appeared as a list. Now a search results are shown in date order. I am on the OS 14.5, If that makes a difference.
Martin, I'm attaching a screen shot of the screen result page that I see. I have always got a result page of file names that I could search by Name, Kind, etc.
