Auto complete preselects obscure method before basic language constants (like false)
This may have been asked many times. When entering code, my intent in the pic is to return false;, here are the autocomplete suggestions I get:
Can I force PhpStorm to preselect false before all other obscure (aka much more infrequent targets)? That would improve (much) my user experience.
Sorry for dumb question, I could not find it here.
PhpStorm 2016.1.2, OSX 10.11.5
FYI : I asked the same on SO, and followed all the suggested holy rituals and voodoo incantations, before posting here. No beans.

The list of suggestions is sorted dynamically based on the functions usage - we can't tune it the way we want.
`False` should get on a first place once IDE counts amount & frequency of its usages sufficient.
@Dmitry : lets make this simple. I NEVER select fbird_* , fastcgi_*.
IMNSHO the sort should on semantic distance from the declaration before any other. Language intrinsics are distance 0.
And now, how about some real help Dmitry ? how (and where) can i suppress whatever garbage history PhpStorm uses to conclude that i use fastcgi_* more often than false ?
errr ... I am curious, just asking if you ever coded in PHP. Do you use any library symbol more often than language intrinsics ?????
By the way I have totally crazy other examples to show you from that project. Trust me, it is a bug.
One more comment : even if i buy into 'sort on frequency of usage' i would point out that based on your statement, the sort is ok. What really (really) gets me is that the **preselected** pick is the one i never use.
Unfortunately there's no way to filter this out (at least now), see https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/WI-5731 for details (don't forget to vote for it).
As for an unused function being preselected in a suggestion list: you can submit this as a bug report at http://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issues/WI#newissue=yes or describe your problem in https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/WI-31973 - this thread is partially discussing the same problem.
Added new bug in Youtrack : https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/WI-32340
Still, you have not answered : how can i make PhpStorm 'forget' the sort order and start from fresh in a project ?
It's IDE-wide, based on a file extension. So generally by wiping all IDE-specific settings. I'll check with a team if this can be done without deleting all the caches/configs.
Running File > Invalidate Caches / Restart ...should reset a completion list for current project.
For the benefit of onlookers : work in progress here, this will be fixed (yeahhh!!)
