Nadya's answer is quite clever; you can also, of course, size the receiving grid to be only one row high, forcing it to be Top...works, but would prefer to use top as Default...

>Am I the only one that finds this a pain? Has everyone else accepted this particular behaviour of the grid. (I do not see any requests for this improvement in the wishlist.)

>Why, some of you may ask, do you want the results displayed from the top row, instead of the center row?
>Answer: Because it wastes valuable space. Only the bottom half of the grids records are relevant. The top half of the grids records are not relevant.
>The end-users will generally type text into a search box. The results will display in the grid. If the users have typed in “Jones”, they want to see a grid full of “Jones”s, starting from the top. They are not interested in seeing the top half of a grid filled with “Jameson”s and only from the center down filled with “Jones”.
