How to change order items in autocomplete entity?

sn flag

I override alter autocomplete in my custom module but I don't know how I can change the display order (DESC or ASC)

<?php

namespace Drupal\alter_entity_autocomplete;

use Drupal\Component\Utility\Html;
use Drupal\Component\Utility\Tags;
use Drupal\Core\Entity\EntityAutocompleteMatcherInterface;
use Drupal\Core\Entity\EntityReferenceSelection\SelectionPluginManagerInterface;

/**
 * Matcher class to get autocompletion results for entity reference.
 */
class EntityAutocompleteMatcher implements EntityAutocompleteMatcherInterface
{

  /**
   * The entity reference selection handler plugin manager.
   *
   * @var \Drupal\Core\Entity\EntityReferenceSelection\SelectionPluginManagerInterface
   */
  protected $selectionManager;

  /**
   * Constructs an EntityAutocompleteMatcher object.
   *
   * @param \Drupal\Core\Entity\EntityReferenceSelection\SelectionPluginManagerInterface $selection_manager
   *   The entity reference selection handler plugin manager.
   */
  public function __construct(SelectionPluginManagerInterface $selection_manager)
  {
    $this->selectionManager = $selection_manager;
  }

  /**
   * {@inheritDoc}
   */
  public function getMatches($target_type, $selection_handler, $selection_settings, $string = '')
  {
    $matches = [];

    $options = $selection_settings + [
        'target_type' => $target_type,
        'handler' => $selection_handler,
      ];
    $handler = $this->selectionManager->getInstance($options);

    if (isset($string)) {
      // Get an array of matching entities.
      $match_operator = !empty($selection_settings['match_operator']) ? $selection_settings['match_operator'] : 'CONTAINS';
      $match_limit = isset($selection_settings['match_limit']) ? (int)$selection_settings['match_limit'] : 50;
      $entity_labels = $handler->getReferenceableEntities($string, $match_operator, $match_limit);

      // Loop through the entities and convert them into autocomplete output.
      foreach ($entity_labels as $values) {
        foreach ($values as $entity_id => $label) { 
          //->sort('id', 'DESC')
          $entity = \Drupal::entityTypeManager()->getStorage($target_type)->load($entity_id);
          $entity = \Drupal::service('entity.repository')->getTranslationFromContext($entity);

          $key = $label . ' (' . $entity_id . ')';
          // Strip things like starting/trailing white spaces, line breaks and tags.
          $key = preg_replace('/\s\s+/', ' ', str_replace("\n", '', trim(Html::decodeEntities(strip_tags($key)))));
          // Names containing commas or quotes must be wrapped in quotes.
          $key = Tags::encode($key);
          $label = $label . ' (' . $entity_id . ')';
          $matches[] = ['value' => $key, 'label' => $label];
        }
      }
    }

    return $matches;
  }

}

Can you help me please ? Thank you.

Looks like you only have to reverse the `$matches` array, no? https://www.php.net/manual/en/function.array-reverse.php

Most people don’t grasp that asking a lot of questions unlocks learning and improves interpersonal bonding. In Alison’s studies, for example, though people could accurately recall how many questions had been asked in their conversations, they didn’t intuit the link between questions and liking. Across four studies, in which participants were engaged in conversations themselves or read transcripts of others’ conversations, people tended not to realize that question asking would influence—or had influenced—the level of amity between the conversationalists.
