It's hard to find the variable you want in the long list of variables

[rod-glover]

When the variables available include Climdex variables, degree-day variables, and/or return period bariables, the list is long. It's hard to find the variable you are interested in.

Options:

1. Sort list alphabetically.
2. Offer a filter tool to find the option in the list that you want. Betcha there's already such a selector out there in OSS!

The more I use CE, the more I dislike how the current variable selector works. Suggest adopting a selector component with the following criteria, ranked by importance (1 = essential, 2 = important, 3 = nice to have):

Imp	Criterion	React Select v2	React Responsive Select	Material UI Select
1	Mature, maintained	✔️	✔️	✔️✔️
1	Controlled component	✔️	✔️	✔️
1	Dropdown	✔️	✔️	✔️
1	Search/filter	✔️✔️	❌	❌
1	Disable selector	✔️	✔️	✔️
1	Disable options	✔️	✔️	✔️
2	Flexible, configurable	✔️✔️	✔️	✔️
2	Aesthetics	✔️	➖	✔️
2	React Bootstrap look	✔️	➖	❌
2	Return arbitrary value	✔️	✔️	✔️
3	Dynamic label gen.	✔️	❌	❔
3	Multiselect	✔️	✔️	✔️
3	API quality	✔️✔️	✔️	✔️✔️

It's pretty clear from this that React Select v2 is the only suitable choice.
