Paolo's cliki has the following McCLIM hint:

----------------------------------------------------------------------

Order of suggestions in completion menus

If you pass to complete-from-possibilities a list of suggestions such as '(("First" 1) ("Second" 2) ("Third)), they are displayed in reverse order from top to bottom in completion menus, like this:

Third
Second
First

If this is not what you want, pass a list sorted in the opposite
order.

----------------------------------------------------------------------

At the expense of causing some minor dislocation, isn't this something
we should fix, instead of hacking around?

Also, is this a place where the clim specification is deficient?
I.e., does it underspecify the behavior?  Should it tell us how a list
of possibilities will be displayed by default (in absence of specific
function arguments)?

Thanks,
R
