Paolo's cliki has the following McCLIM hint:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Order of suggestions in completion menus
If you pass to complete-from-possibilities a list of suggestions such as '(("First" 1) ("Second" 2) ("Third)), they are displayed in reverse order from top to bottom in completion menus, like this:
Third Second First
If this is not what you want, pass a list sorted in the opposite order.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
At the expense of causing some minor dislocation, isn't this something we should fix, instead of hacking around?
Also, is this a place where the clim specification is deficient? I.e., does it underspecify the behavior? Should it tell us how a list of possibilities will be displayed by default (in absence of specific function arguments)?
Thanks, R
