Replace binary match/no-match sorting in payee and category dropdowns with a 4-tier ranking: exact match, prefix match, word-boundary match, and substring match. This surfaces the most relevant results first (e.g. typing "me" shows "Me" before "Memory Express" before "Framework"). Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>
