I currently make the ordinal like so in the telescope-lsp-symbols.pickers.document-symbol submodule:

-- For the "M.cmd" symbol in a lua file:
m_cd_ordinal = "[NUMID]##M##cmd[#0]"

I should add a sorter (which also handles filtering as far as I can tell?) which takes advantage of the structure. So if we look for "cmd" it actually finds it. I've already got somewhere a string split function which can return the parts between separators without removing empty elements. It works like so:

splitstring("001##M##cmd", "##") == { "001", "M", "cmd" }
splitstring("##M##cmd", "##") == { "", "M", "cmd" }

I could use this to only filter and sort based on fuzzy matches in each name "part".
