`xmms2 jump` completion uses

  _values -s ' ' 'playlist items' ${(On)playlistitems}

where $playlistitems is an array with items e.g.

  1[foo]
  2[bar]
  ...
  12[baz]
  13[foo]

Unfortunately, it seems as if _values does something weird:
Even though ${(On)...} yields a reverse-numerically sorted list of
those items, the output seems not numerically sorted.

In addition, the way _values merges keys with the same value (1 and
13 in the above) is suboptimal for the use case.

This list:

  [0/193] Deep Purple - Highway Star (06:43)
  [1/194] Deep Purple - Child in Time (12:17)
  [2/195] Deep Purple - Smoke on the Water (07:36)
  [3/196] Deep Purple - The Mule (09:28)
  [4/197] Deep Purple - Strange Kind of Woman (09:52)
  [5/198] Deep Purple - Lazy (10:27)
  [6/199] Deep Purple - Space Truckin' (19:54)
  [7/200] Deep Purple - Black Night (06:18)
  [8/201] Deep Purple - Speed King (07:24)
  [9/202] Deep Purple - Lucille (08:03)
  [10/203] Deep Purple - Highway Star (06:41)
  [11/204] Deep Purple - Black Night (05:48)
  [12/205] Deep Purple - A Twist in the Tail (04:23)
  [13/206] Deep Purple - Perfect Strangers (06:52)
  [14/207] Deep Purple - Anyone's Daugher (03:52)
  [15/208] Deep Purple - Child in Time (10:42)
  [16/209] Deep Purple - Anya (12:08)
  [17/210] Deep Purple - Speed King (07:33)
  [18/211] Deep Purple - Smoke on the Water (10:09)

Yields this completion output:

  playlist items
  10     -- Deep Purple - Highway Star
  11  7  -- Deep Purple - Black Night
  12     -- Deep Purple - A Twist in the Tail
  13     -- Deep Purple - Perfect Strangers
  14     -- Deep Purple - Anyone's Daugher
  15  1  -- Deep Purple - Child in Time
  16     -- Deep Purple - Anya
  17  8  -- Deep Purple - Speed King
  18  2  -- Deep Purple - Smoke on the Water
  3      -- Deep Purple - The Mule
  4      -- Deep Purple - Strange Kind of Woman
  5      -- Deep Purple - Lazy
  6      -- Deep Purple - Space Truckin'
  9      -- Deep Purple - Lucille

I am sure you'll agree that that's not really useful. It would be
better to have proper numeric sorting and disable the merging.
