Yes, that's it isn't it. And how can I then use this in a natural feeling way? i.e., even if there's a foobar in the current directory, sometimes I'll want to know about the foo that's somewhere in my cdpath. I still don't feel I know what I want, exactly, but not sorting would be OK as a start (if I want foo, then I just have to know about it, and not use completion).
