option to alphabetically sort the list of text styles. Also remove the word "Text" from all text styles.
Notice how the list of text styles isn't order alphabetically:
When I manually search this list for another style, it takes me a few seconds since I have to start at the top. It would be nice to have a small "ABC" button at the top which would auto sort these style names.
Also, I notice most of these text styles do not have "Text" in them. Except for "Repeat Text (Left/Right)" and "Text Line". I don't think the word "Text" should appear anywhere in that list, since they are all text styles.

Fot alphabetical order keep in mind that these strings are translated into 50+ languages, which would result in different orders.
A searchbox might help though, like in the instruments dialog, but then again there are far fewer text styles than intruments,

i'm not saying have it sorted by default. I'm only saying add an ABC button to click and sort.
I'm thinking that maybe could also have a search textbox next to it, which upon every keypress in that box would update the list to only displays those strings containing the inputted string:

And I haven't said that it is a bad idea, just to be aware of translations and the different sorting that goes along with it ;-)

Ok. I see just making a note to whoever implements this that need to make sure to sort using the translated strings.

I guess whoever implements this should try to reuse as much of that same code from instrument dialog.
"Repeat Text" is the name of the *element* itself. Similar for "Staff Text". So the name of the style reflects that.

So we should add " Text" to "System" and "Staff"... Maybe to "Tempo" too

Either basically all of these should have text or none should.
And I'd really like that for the palettes: https://musescore.org/en/node/105766
