Add action priority / ordering about kbar HOT 7 CLOSED

This would be super, super helpful. Another consideration here is that "groups" of results should perhaps be sorted first, then results within that group sorted afterwards.

Happy to help contribute towards development of this in January.

This would be very useful.

For example adding contextual actions to the top would allow the user to discover them more easily. Right now they are "hidden" at the bottom of the list.

Hey @devenbhooshan! Thanks for the offer – if you want to give it a shot, by all means! I would look into alternative solutions as a starting point, like command-score.

Any updates on this?

Second this, current workaround to there is only 1 useRegisterActions, no default actions, all actions are re-registered when there are changes, this way the order can be predictable. But an API that supports this internally makes a lot of sense and will be very helpful!

I think these are the places where changes needed to be added

Action type needs to have a priority field of type int in src/types.ts

and that priority needs to be taken into account in src/useMatches.tsx

const results = React.useMemo(() => {

      //...
      for (let i = 0; i < actions.length; i++) {
        results.push(actions[i]);
      }
    });
    //

    return results;
  }, [matches]);

@timc1 let me know if this looks correct. I can help with the PR.
