Jim,

Move your cursor down to the column header, "Prompt" and press enter. This 
tells ISPF you want the member list sorted on the "Prompt" column.

It's like looking at the member list and asking "Who's been updated recently?". 
To do that you bring up the member list, put your cursor on the column header, 
"Changed" and pressing enter. Of course this sort would be dependent on whether 
ISPF statistics are on or not.

Chuck,  I'm a little confused regarding your suggestion.  I've issued the
"srchfor" command and the resultant screen looks like this -
