Do you have examples of completion tables which do specify sorting, but
where flex sorting obviously should take precedence?

No, do you? Love to see them, or the converse. But does it matter? Flex is for searching with patterns, stable sorted by scores, solving ties with whatever sort order came first. Dmitry/flex, or Flix, or Flax, may be something else, you understand? It's by design like this.
