Strange flipping of ordering of autocompletions

[DavisVaughan]

Run:

x <- list(ab = 1, abc = 2)

Type: x$ab and watch the suggested autocompletion flip from ab to abc even though ab is an exact match, feels weird to me and @kevinushey

The same is true for function arguments.

@LuisLauM unless I'm misunderstanding, I think you're describing a different issue? Note that RStudio defaults to showing parameters in the same order as they're declared in the underlying function. In addition, if you have Copilot integration enabled, RStudio will show the completion list above the cursor position (instead of below) to avoid obscuring ghost text generated by Copilot.

Indeed. I have recently started using Copilot and I did not know that the order of the completions changes because of that. My mistake, my apology.
