How to keep the original order of an arg list once you start filtering?

[ramiroaraujo]

I'm fetching some log data from a service, and prompt to select from a pretty large list. This list is correctly sorted, but once I start filtering in the UI the sorting seems to be changed to a string sorting based on the input, or at the very least it changes from the original one. Is there a way to avoid this?
If not, I would add it as a nice to have! I could try to add a PR for it myself if it sounds good

You can do this:

let numbers = ["one", "two", "three", "four", "five", "six", "seven", "eight", "nine", "ten"]

let result = await arg(
  {
    placeholder: "Search numbers",
    debounceInput: 0, // If the list is "static", you can set this to 0
  },
  input => {
    return numbers.filter(n => n.includes(input))
  }
)

I'll have a version that can do the fuzzy match + highlighting as part of the API soon.
