I have elastic and kibana v"7.9.2" When I want to add ILM to index template by going to ILM-\>action-\>add\_policy\_to\_index button I receive the screen - see attached screenshot the index templates are in unsorted order and there is no search as u type feature and it is not easy to find correct template. Is there a way how I can see the template list in alphabetic sorted order? Or to have type search function? another problem CREATE TEMPLATE vs CREATE LEGACY TEMPLATE for create template option I cant see the template from the menu mentioned in attached screen at all. Thank you ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/elastic/original/3X/f/f/ff2d8e91db79d02fc4932bfa30298243f538d8d1.png) ---
