Crate versions are lexicographically sorted in completion about crates.nvim

[Saecki]

I've also noticed that, but I'm not exactly sure what's the cause. We set sortText on versions and the client/completion provider is supposed to respect them. That used to work when I implemented it, but some time ago something broke.

Here is the line we set sortText:

crates.nvim/teal/crates/src/common.tl

Line 39 in 3648f87

sortText = string.format("%04d", i),

Here is the line nvim-cmp uses it to sort CompletionItems:

This needs some more investigation, I'll look into it sometime.

Found the issue, seems like the default config excludes scoring/sorting by sort_text:

So whats the conclusion of this? Would it possible to patch cmp to enable sort_text or is there an other way?

[Saecki]

I don't know, there is no answer to the issue I opened on the nvim-cmp repository. For now it seems like users will have to manually enable the sort_text comparator, if desired.

Thank you. Do you mind pasting the issue link in nvim-cmp here? Just for future reference
