No sorting is done in anything-M-x, i think it's not really useful, as
as soon you type some characters, all commands starting with these
characters go on top of list.

Regexp are accepted also, and if you have anything-match plugin enabled,
multi regexp completion is available (just enter a space in anything
pattern).

OTOH, last command used is always pushed on top of history, that mean
all recents commands are on top of list (doublons and not bounded
commands are removed).
