People: Sort autocomplete list of people based on metadata (when assigning to face) #1865

Description

@joachimtingvold

When searching for people to assign a face, the list could maybe be sorted/prioritized based on different metadata. Right now, the list is long if you have many persons, and it's tedious to write the whole name, or scroll through the list with mouse/keyboard.

  • people from photos in the same album(s)
  • people from photos taken at the same place and/or same time
  • relevant people already tagged in the same photo (based on how many times they have been in the same photo before)
  • other people from same moment (if photo is part of a moment)
  • relation to people based on some or all of the other results above (relevant to People: Add relations between people #144)
  • prioritize given name before surname (or the other way, depending on preference), as opposed to search from the beginning of the name (as sometimes you need to filter by surname)
  • prioritize beginning of given name and surname, before "middle of" (i.e. search for "foo" should prioritize "Zulu Foobar" before "Allan Barfoo")
  • number of photos they are already tagged in (i.e. a person that is in 1k photos is more likely to be in another photo, than one that is only in 10 photos)

Not sure if all of these would be sensible in terms of performance. Also not sure of the prioritization of these.
