[ESS] company mode troubles

[Ramon Diaz-Uriarte]

Thanks Vitalie.

If I use the version of company-mode from melpa (company-20160522.1835)
everything works fine. But using version 0.8.12, the one from melpa-stable
or elpa, I get the reported problem. From the company-mode page, it was my
understanding that 0.8.12 is the current stable version.

On looking at the code, the version of company.el in company-20160522.1835
mentions the ":sorted" keyword.  But I can find no mention of ":sorted" in
0.8.12. I guess almost everybody must be running the devel version of
company :-) Anyway, solved by using the devel version of company.

Best,

R.
