Hello:  
Is there a way to configure kibana to list exact match first before partial match in console?  
I tried to delete indices with certain pattern (date time).  
for example:  
When I type "202101", I am getting a list of indices with exact and partial match. But it's listing partial match above exact match which is weird. It's showing 202102 (partial match) above 202101 (exact match). Any idea?

Are you in the Dev Tools \> Console app, or something in Management, or something else?

Sorry for the late response.  
Here's the menu in the kibana page.
