I typed MAXSORT and it gives me a default value of <1000>. what should I change it too?

From the AutoCAD help file:

MAXSORT (System Variable)

Sets the maximum number of items such as file names, layer names, and block names that are sorted alphabetically in dialog boxes, drop-down lists, and palettes.

Type:    Integer
Saved in:    Registry
Initial value:    1000

If the total number of items, also called named objects, exceeds this value, no items are sorted.
The value of MAXSORT is an integer between 0 and 32767.
