    Hi All.
    I'm having an issue moving from MonoDevelop to Visual Studio.
    The single issue I have is on the Intellisense/ autocomplete feature.
    It looks like the sorting filter used on Visual Studio is alphanumeric, but on Monodevelop you get the inheritance results first, and it was much better.
    Is there a way to change the sorting option for the autocomplete/Intellisense in Visual Studio?

    I'm using
    Visual Studio Community 2017 for Mac.
    Version 7.6.1 (build 9).

    Thank you all in advance.

    Hi Weliketoparty,
    Have you found any solution to sort autocompletion by inheritance like Monodevelop did?
    As far as i know, Monodevelop doest not handle C#6+, so we can't use it anymore.

    Go to Tools - Get Tools and Features. If you have multiple versions, select the version and click on Modify. Scroll down and find Visual Studio Development Extension. Click the checkbox and hit Modify. That's all you need to do. Enjoy✌️
