Playing around with the Java language server, I see that code assist shows snippets again on the top, covering all real proposals:

I need to scroll down to learn about the object before the dot.

Settings? Java-Specific?

That's the sorting the extension wanted, all semantic suggestions have zzzzzzadf as sort text, the suggestions don't. By default we sort snippets inline and only demote when they are equal to other suggestions.

@jrieken Thanks Joh for digging. Sorry, I didn't expect the Java extension to set the sort text.
Moving to the Java extension. Any reason to set the sort text?

Sort text is set to mimic a relevancy to the context where completion request is invoked. I am not sure if we can have an alternate way to manage the relevancy on Completions.

Changing sort text to use numerical values instead of zzzz*:
