How to make tab completion sorted by last modified?

[niksingh710]

if doing tab completion to select a file?

[LangLangBart]

Is this working for you ?

source <(fzf --zsh)
_fzf_compgen_path() {
  rg --hidden --files --sortr=modified --glob '!.git/*' -- "$1"
}

Note

Ensure the correct widget is assigned to ⇥ Tab, rather than a different widget, such as from Aloxaf/fzf-tab.

fzf/shell/completion.zsh

Lines 365 to 368 in 01e7668

	zle -N fzf-completion
	bindkey '^I' fzf-completion
	fi

bindkey | grep -F "^I"
# Expected output: "^I" fzf-completion

i got an sketchy solution for this https://github.com/niksingh710/cdots/blob/master/home/.shell/fzf.zsh#L100-L108

i was not aware of this path_completion and functions will look into them.
if you can help to improve my fzf config it will be helpful.
