[vim/vim] Option to change popupmenu sorting direction (Issue #9399)
BonaBeavis
When completing the popupmenu always shows the best result in the top row. But when the pmenu opens above the completion, the top row can be located anywhere above the completion.
Describe the solution you'd like
There should be an option, that the best match is always closest to the point of completion. Either the last or first row, depending if the popupmenu opens above or under the point of entry.
Also then a new keymap would be needed, because with this options set, the next 'worser' popupmenu match is not always in the 'down' direction.

Hey @BonaBeavis I think you should frame this issue in here because this is a completion problem for Neo vim. I think you can close this issue now.

nvim-cmp doesn't even use builtin popupmenu. It draws its own popupmenu using floating window. However, this feature request may still be applicable to Vim.
