[HOLD for payment 2024-06-28] [HOLD for payment 2024-06-24] [$250] Order Suggested Mentions according to relevancy when in a Group Chat

[yuwenmemon]

Feature Description

Right now, when you hit @ to tag someone without starting to type any letters, we show you a list of everyone you have a "connection" to in alphabetical order:

However, when in a group chat or a chat connected to a workspace, there's a high chance you're looking to tag someone within that group/workspace. In fact, seeing "random" users as suggestions when presented in alphabetical order is even a bit disorienting.

So, let's re-prioritize the list shown in MentionSuggestions so that they are always in the following order:

1. People within the chat (members of the Report)
2. People within the Workspace
3. Other Contacts (the current way we do it)

Manual Test Steps

1. Type in @ in a group chat with several participants
2. Make sure that the list of participants is shown first to you as suggestions, in alphabetical order, then the list of the rest of your contacts, in alphabetical order.
3. Type in a letter, and make sure the list is filtered to the individuals containing that letter with the same hierarchy preserved as described above.

---

1. Type in @ in a Workspace room, where only a fraction of the workspace members are in the room.
2. Make sure that the list of participants is shown first to you as suggestions, in alphabetical order, then the list of workspace members, in alphabetical order, the the rest of your contacts, in alphabetical order.
3. Type in a letter, and make sure the list is filtered to the individuals containing that letter with the same hierarchy preserved as described above.
