ordering candidates when using completion-at-point-functions

["Dirk-Jan C. Binnema" <djcb@djcbsoftware.nl>]

Hi all,

I'm using completion-at-point-functions to do address-completion in
mu4e, an email-client that I wrote. This works fine [1]; however, by
default, it seems the candidates are in alphabetical order.

Instead, I would like to deliver the candidates in order of frequency; I
already got my list of contacts sorted in the right order, so all that's
needed (as far as I can see) is to have the completion system /not/ do
any sorting of its own, but just deliver the candidates in the same
order as in the list I provide. Is this possible? And, if so, how?

(An alternative might be to use a display-sort-function; it seems the
current org-contacts[2] does something like that; but this seems /very/
complicated solution, which is hopefully not necessary for my modest
needs...)

Thanks,
Dirk.
