When I designed flex I wanted it to sort by flexy stuff and keep the relative order specified by earlier sorting when there are ties. I've not seen an example of a table where its original sorting mattered more _when_ there is some search pattern. When there is no search pattern, flex sorting doesn't kick in (because there is nothing to work from). But you can probably design some other "omar-flex" completion style that doesn't do this and behaves the way you want. João
