Add option to skip sorting QuickPick items

Similar to https://github.com/microsoft/vscode/issues/63050, I wish to avoid the final sort on the quick pick list. I am using the quickpick as a search field, and the items field I set is already sorted by my relevance metric, so I do not want to have VS Code sort the list again . Specifically, I want an option to skip this block: https://github.com/microsoft/vscode/blob/a69d0f8b218498e22b7c3a0f76926cc6322e6106/src/vs/workbench/browser/parts/quickinput/quickInputList.ts#L518-L523)

We could add matchOnLabel (like we internally already did) to the API and couple that with filtering, highlighting and sorting. (Currently the sorting is only done based on the label.) That would fit nicely with the existing API while not exposing too fine-grained options that are hard to use.

I’d just like to add that for those using TypeScript, you can access QuickPick’s new sortByLabel flag like so: (Since it’s not in the type definitions yet.)

let quickPick = vscode.window.createQuickPick();
(quickPick as any).sortByLabel = false;
