The autocomplete widget will search a given data source for the term the user has typed into the text box. This happens as the user types, so with each keystroke, there's potential for a new data response to be rendered. This response, however, doesn't do any sorting. For example, the user could type "games", which could yield hundreds of results. The autocomplete widget isn't going to display hundreds of items, because the user would have to use their eyes to sift throught the results, line-by-line, which kind of defeats the purpose of the widget. Rather than displaying the autocomplete items in the same order as the source data, we could first sort them by some criteria.
