It’s one big list. If you select another realm you should get put at the top of that realm in the one big list but above your top 'toon will be the bottom 'toon from another realm.
It’s because we are all one big happy warband now.
Plan on a bigger table and multiple turkeys on Thanksgiving.

I don’t know if you just haven’t tried clicking a Realm, but it doesn’t do what you say it or think it should do.
I can click “Realms”, then see all the Realms and my character count on each Realm, but then when I click “Okay”, I’m sent right back to the Warband list. I have 50’ish characters. None of them is sorted, not be level, not by realm, not by name. Blizzard just puked all my characters into one giant bucket, and I can’t find who is where. With as many characters as I have nearly all are inactive, but I play some here and there from time to time (more than 4), and I keep track of them by the Realm they are on. Now it’s very difficult for me to see who is who.
At least in the filter bar I can type Horde or Alliance to get a list of only the one faction. I can even type the name of the logout location and it filters, so that could be helpful. But there’s no Realm filtering that I’ve been able to find.

I should be able to search by realm. CMV.

There is not.
You can search by Name, Level, Faction, Race, Class, Location or Profession.
When you search by Level, you need to be exact.
So, searching ‘3’ will only find level 3’s, not 53 or 33. I don’t know why.
The realm list is really only there for setting what relm you want to make new characters on.
It really doesn’t have any other function save having to be on a character’s realm to make use of the gear upgrade function on characters you haven’t played on more than three months.

There is still no Realm list of characters. I have 50 characters, but only 4 on Zul’jin. There’s no way to filter those characters, and I have to scroll down a list of 50 characters and mouse over them until I find characters on Zul’jin?
This is asinine. It’s 2024 for crying out loud, not 1970. Like we literally have the tech. This is a simple query on every database. Why am I expected to scroll through a large list and mouse over characters to find them??

Sorry, when I said realm list I meant the Realm button at the top of the screen that brings up the list of realms you can change to. You see, even though the page gives you no indication of it, you are still logged into the realm the last character you played is on. The realm you are logged into is now purely a function for character creation and has nothing to do with how your character list is displayed.
So when I make a new character it will be on Thrall because that’s where my main is and it’s the last character I played. If I want to make a new character on a different realm, I need to click the realm button and change to that realm. Or if I want to play a character that has the gear upgrade available, to get the upgrade I have to be logged into the realm that character is on.
The whole new character list is just a shoddy overlay pasted on top of the old character screen which is probably why they haven’t offered any way to easily order your characters.
I completely agree with you, there seriously needs to be a way to sort your character list in different ways beyond a search function. Sort by realm, level, even alphabetical order.

My apologies, I can see now it looks like I was responding to you. I agree with what you were saying. I just popped in last night to post out of frustration that the character list is still a complete mess…like somehow I figured Blizzard would read the OPs post or my follow up post and think, “yeah, we should fix that”.
Blizzard, if you are reading, the problem is that for 20 years we had friends and guilds on different servers. You forced us to log into those servers, create characters on those servers and join those guilds into order to play with those friends. I’m not upset for any of that, the tech is what is was. But you just need to be mindful of that as you are now fixing those limitations.
I had a friend from one of my servers that was asking for an invite into our guild for his new character. So now I need to find my characters on that server to remember which one can invite his new characters into our guild on that server.
I also have various toons in various states of achievement completions, like farming old legendries, etc. I can look for the toon based on what server I was on during that expansion.
Just to say, there are many reasons, based on how the game used to work, that even now, I could use a character list sorted by realm.
Please.
