Do NOT re-sort QuickPickItem when typing

[ThisIsManta]

Originally, the quick pick comprises index, actionType, reducer, and selector respectively. I intentionally place index at the top of the list because, you know, it is index.js. However, when start typing, VSCode re-sorts my items so actionType comes before index which I do NOT want that.

I believe auto sorting QuickPickItem is a feature (#15659), hence I'm creating a feature request ticket so that QuickPickOptions has a new field called keepOrder or doNotResort or whatever.

Cheers!

I guess what's being asked for here is to make sure the entries stay stable if they have the same weight after going through the fuzzy sort. @chrmarti is the weighted list sorted using a stable sort?

Thanks Daniel for your swift response.

Unfortunately, I would like have my order untouched whether the search term matches label or description.

@ThisIsManta the order must be changed as it's fuzzy sorting and filtering the list. Without sorting, if you had something that matched the label exactly and the description partially the best match may not be at the top. In the example above I would expect the match weights to be the same as they're both matching on the description.
