That would be an option, although it requires quite a bit of coding effort
to make this work. They will be added to the list in the server as they
are, but the server doesn't have a means to report the position of the
command in cmdvartab (so it can't give a preference value here). And also
note that the order of the commands in cmdvartab is currently still a mess
too, so this won't really help either.

Sorting might still be a good idea, since it will be easier to lookup in
the list if a command is used (you'd skip the remainder of the list if the
command you're looking for is already passed in the list).
