Describe the feature

Is it possible to sort completions results ?

For example when I tap ctrl+space I get this pop up menu for my React App, but I don't use HTMLOptGroupElement at all and need to scroll down up to my local components in the "#shared" directory.

The problem is that I need to scroll for each import, and most of the time I tap "enter" on the wrong import because it is the first one.

I already added "autoImportFileExcludePatterns": ["**/node_modules/@mantine/core"]to my settings in lsp.typescript-language-server.initialization_options.preferences to ignore some imports, but would like to avoid adding the whole list. Moreover I think that HTMLOptGroupElement is from the HTML language, what I can't exclude

This sounds similar to:

• Implement Symbol Search / Autocomplete Sorting by Relevance #4327

Yes, it is quite the same.

If there is an option to choose the order, it could be better

I'm going to close this issue in favor of the more general:

• Prioritize exact matches in autocompletions #12698
• Implement Symbol Search / Autocomplete Sorting by Relevance #4327
