You should be able to choose an ordering for any import.  Lets say that 99% of the time, I want to use java.util.List, and 1% of the time I want to use java.awt.List.  If I type in "List", it should auto-import to java.util.List.  

Right now, my workaround for not having this feature is using Type Filters, but this is not a very satisfactory answer.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Everything explained in the description

The Platform/IDE bucket is for generic IDE-related things provided by the Eclipse platform (like the 'Problems' view). This is a request for JDT, the Java tooling.

Note that we already use a history in Content Assist and Organize Imports: After you've chosen "java.util.List" once, it will always be in first position when you try to add an import for "List".
