For the past few years (basically within the first few months of using Emacs in 2020) I’ve been using #Helm. My understanding of how completing-read and the minibuffer in #emacs should work are thereby strongly influenced by this experience.
This weekend I finally had some time to play with #Vertico (and marginalia, consult, orderless… inspired by Prot's video). Probably I’m holding it wrong but it was not a smooth experience. Is it correct that vertico ignores the sorting of the collection used? Is there a way to change this? Why is the minibuffer here broken? Any advice would be welcome.
The images attached show the results for (completing-read "" orgrr-selection-list) in helm and vertico.
@sachac Thanks! This would explain why sorting is correct in Helm. It also explains why (setq vertico-sort-function nil) produces the correct order in Vertico.
