I disagree, I think it's much easier to search for a property by name. It's really hard to objectively categories every property, one person would put one property in one type another one would not. Sorting it alphabetically helps all users to find the property

But a user who was searching for a property with a particular name would presumably use Ctr-f/Cmd-f to search, rather than scrolling through the whole list to find it.

I agree with this viewpoint. Additionally, even if the categorization is to some degree arbitrary, at least it beats alphabetical order which ends up being the most arbitrary (well other than just rolling the dice).
