Fix method suggestion order (#270787)\n\nCloses #259251\n\n##
Summary\n\n- Pins Console HTTP method completion ordering with explicit
`sortText`\nvalues so Monaco does not fall back to alphabetical label
sorting.\n- Keeps the existing method set unchanged while ordering `GET`
first and\n`DELETE` last.\n\n## Root Cause\n\n- Monaco uses `sortText`
for completion ordering and falls back to the\nitem label when
`sortText` is missing, which can put `DELETE` before\nsafer/default
verbs.\n\n## Fix\n\n- Assign stable `sortText` values to method
completion items based on\nthe intended canonical order.\n- Add a
focused unit test that sorts method suggestions the same way
and\nverifies `GET` is first and `DELETE` is last.\n\n## Before\n<img
