The quick drop selection list seems to have a random or otherwise unintelligable order. The most commonly frustrating example in my case is Bundle and Unbundle by name:
I have to type more letters because the regex search on 'u' returns lots of results and they don't seem to be sorted:
When doing OOP in LabVIEW, bundle/unbundle by name is a very commonly used VI. Every time I want to insert it into a class/cluster, I have to type either the whole first word and a space, or use the arrow keys after the first three letters. What would be more useful is if Quick Drop kept track of the VIs I drop and count their frequency. At the top of the list should be the most frequently dropped VIs, then all the other VIs that match the letters typed so far. This way, because I use unbundle by name so often, I would just have to type U and it would be the first result:
TLDR: Quick drop should learn from usage and prioritize results based on frequency of selection.
