Created attachment 145715 [details] Screenshot of the codecompletion dialog When starting to type a new method in a java class body, and hitting Ctrl + space to show code-completion a list of actions are shown in the cc dialog. The first actions in the list allow either overriding inherited methods or implementing methods from interfaces applied to the class. However often it is difficult to quickly spot the single "implement" action among the many "override" actions. There is almost no visual separation, so often you must resort to using the hint ("XXX is not abstract and does not override abstract method XXX() in XX") or opening the "Implement" dialog. It would be awesome to have an option to sort the results in the code-completion dialog to show the "implement" actions atop the "override" actions, as these are often the ones you are looking to implement in order to make the class compile-able (unless the class is abstract - don't think this is a case that should be handled differently than normal classes).
