I'm truly sorry - I am confused whether it's me, but did something changed regarding the sortordering of dropdown lists of autocomplete (v15)
Currently the dropdown is showing columns alphabetically (not allways, but I can't reproduce when, or when not) which is usually not the natural order. I need the order of the table structure.

Had this changed? Is this is a setting (couldn't find it in the "Code Assistant" tab in preferences)?
It even looks it drops down in natural order and then reorder to alpabetical - but it's in a blink-of-an-eye
It drives me crazy currently - I feel it was always natural - and at some point it recdently it change to alpabetical.

N.B.
When I select "All" to fill out the columns (when it's available, which is not always the case when I need it) the order of columns is natural (according to table structure) again (but I'm not even sure how consistent that is, but I couldn't quickly reproduce.

At the bottom-left of the Code Assistant there is a button to switch between alphabetical sort order and physical sort order. The setting is persistent, so you only need to set it once.
