I believe this has been an issue for a couple of versions now but it was correctly respected in older IPython versions.\r\n\r\nIs there a fix planned for this issue? Alternatively, perhaps I can do something extra to either (1) force the completions to use the explicit ordering supplied by ``__dir__`` or (2) enforce alphabetical sorting of the suggestions so that capitalized names are listed before lowercase ones?\r\n\r\nThank you.","author":{"url":"https://github.com/jlstevens","@type":"Person","name":"jlstevens"},"datePublished":"2017-06-23T02:58:13.000Z","interactionStatistic":{"@type":"InteractionCounter","interactionType":"https://schema.org/CommentAction","userInteractionCount":0},"url":"https://github.com/10671/ipython/issues/10671"}
