We can still call Alphabet Google, just like everyone calls X Twitter. Clunky rebrands don't have to be accepted by everyone.

Edit: Personally I'm in favor of sorting by present market cap, so it's MANGAM.

Google never rebranded. It's still Google. They just had all these unrelated moonshots like Verily and Waymo that didn't make sense to keep pretending were a part of Google.
Isn't the Google CEO also Alphabet CEO now because they didn't manage to make them 2 actual independent companies?
I wouldn't be surprised if the change was tax related.
Is this a reverse sort?
