Visual Studio has Intellicode built in by default (https://visualstudio.microsoft.com/services/intellicode/) and one of the feature is indeed putting better completion items on top.
Intellicode is also available on VS Code: https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=VisualStudioExptTeam.vscodeintellicode
