Because of this part, at the end of the function,
`completion-pcm-all-completions' reverses the order of the candidates.
(let ((poss ()))
(dolist (c compl)
(when (string-match-p regex c) (push c poss))) ; <==== reverses
poss)
It should not do this. Users should be able to depend on whatever order
the candidates are already in (as returned by `all-completions').
For example, for buffer candidates, the default order from
`all-completions' is last-display-time order.
The fix is trivial:
(let ((poss ()))
(dolist (c compl)
(when (string-match-p regex c) (push c poss)))
(nreverse poss))

Ah, this is the reason for the candidate list reversion I see. Yes,
this should IMO not happen.
Stefan, if you get the time, can you please have a look at whether the
suggested fix looks ok to you, and commit it if applicable?
Thanks,
Michael.

completion-pcm-all-completions doesn't have any such code.
After searching a bit I decided you meant completion-pcm--all-completions.

Looks good, please install,
Stefan

Oh yes, I found that too, but forgot to mention.

This doesn't seem to meet any of the criteria in
http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/emacs-devel/2016-10/msg00007.html
so I think I'll have to commit to master.
Michael.

Thanks for fixing this, Michael.
Unfortunately, there is no way for my code that compensates for this bug to now know whether/when it has been fixed. No simple test such as `fboundp' or an Emacs version.
Of course, if you happened to decide to rename the function, there would be no problem...
And it's already a bit much that there is also a function `completion-pcm-all-completions' that does not even call `completion-pcm--all-completions', and that has a completely different signature. And the "internal" function has a nice doc string, but the "external" one has no doc string...
Perhaps you would consider taking this opportunity to find a better name for this "internal" function? Especially since it is "internal", probably few 3rd-party libraries would be affected by a name change.
In my case, I would not be referencing this "internal" function at all, except that I needed to work around this bug. If you did choose to rename it, I would not need to make any code changes, because I already protect this change with `(when (fboundp 'completion-pcm--all-completions)...)'.

Hmm, that sounds reasonable. If nobody objects, I can do that, sure.
Michael.
