How to control the completion order by custom algorithm instead of arranged by alphabetic order?

Hello， I am trying to use a custom algorithm(not machine learning) to decide the order of completion list. Is there some extension point available? I found the extension point `com.intellij.completion.ml.ranking` on the official website, but I just wanna to rearrange the completions order and I have no model , I would be appriciate if there is some resolution to my situation.Thank you!

Each LookupElement can have a priority so you can create certain groups (or even giving each element unique priority number?) - check PrioritizedLookupElement

It seems though that you are trying to alter completion of an existing language plugin? I've never done that, but there's a Decorator that might be used for it... as it state in doc: "Please decorate only when necessary, e.g. when intercepting other contributors"
