Listing (sorting) priority and default selection

[itaranto]

I don't understand how pre-selection works in nvim-cmp.

It seems the nvim_lsp source always gets selected first regardless of the sources priority.

For example:

Notice how the LSP source got selected first.

This doesn't seem to change whether the luasnip source is declared before nvim_lsp or not.

This is how I configured my sources:

      sources = cmp.config.sources({
        { name = 'luasnip'  },
        { name = 'nvim_lsp' },
        { name = 'nvim_lua' },
        { name = 'calc'     },
        { name = 'path'     },
        {
          name = 'spell',
          option = {
            keep_all_entries = true,
          },
        },
      }, {
        {
          name = 'buffer',
          option = {
            get_bufnrs = function()
              local bufs = {}
              for _, win in ipairs(vim.api.nvim_list_wins()) do
                bufs[vim.api.nvim_win_get_buf(win)] = true
              end
              return vim.tbl_keys(bufs)
            end,
          },
        },
      }),
    })

Source priority exists.

But isn't priority implicit in the table's order?

Or maybe there's something I'm not understanding here...

I tried setting the priorities:

      sources = cmp.config.sources({
        { name = 'luasnip',    priority = 1000 },
        { name = 'nvim_lsp',   priority = 500  },
        { name = 'nvim_lua',   priority = 500  },
        { name = 'calc',       priority = 250  },
        { name = 'path',       priority = 250  },
        {
          name = 'spell',
          option = {
            keep_all_entries = true,
          },
          priority = 250,
        },
      }, {
        {
          name = 'buffer',
          option = {
            get_bufnrs = function()
              local bufs = {}
              for _, win in ipairs(vim.api.nvim_list_wins()) do
                bufs[vim.api.nvim_win_get_buf(win)] = true
              end
              return vim.tbl_keys(bufs)
            end,
          },
        },
      }),

but it didn't worked, LSP sources are always pre-selected by default.
