It would be great if you'll implement a setting that allows to sort auto-complete options in web-forms by frequency of using these options. Now all is sorted in alphabetical order.
For example, the field "name" in my browser now contains about of hundred auto-complete options. But in fact in 90% of cases I fill it with 2-5 values.
I'd want to see them at the top of the list to avoid typing them.
