Allow file locations to be ordered in peek menu

[SnowSzn]

Hi,

I have made an extension (source code) allows you to use VSCode as an editor for game projects made in RPG Maker engine.

Currently, this extension allows to launch, from VSCode, the game executable and in case an exception kills the game, it shows information about the error with its corresponding backtrace.

When the game exits, the extension processes the exception information and creates an object with the name, the message and a backtrace array with the paths and lines of the files.

I am currently using the editor.action.peekLocations command to display the locations of the error backtrace.

editor.action.peekLocations - Peek locations from a position in a file

    uri - The text document in which to start
    position - The position at which to start
    locations - An array of locations.
    multiple - Define what to do when having multiple results, either peek, gotoAndPeek, or goto

The problem I have is that, all the locations in the peekLocations menu are sorted alphabetically, with no possibility to change it (I think), here's an example of what I mean.

As you can see in the image, the locations inside the peek menu on the left are all ordered by the file URI, and they do not match the order of the backtrace array (on the right).

The editor.action.peekLocations command is called as follows with the exception instance shown above:

I'm currently running VSCode version 1.85.1.

Is it possible to allow passing an optional argument that is a sort function to the command, to order the locations?

In case it is not provided, the current alphabetical ordering method could be used.
