The better the quality of the text corpus, the better the quality of the dictionary, the better the quality of the spelling correction. That said, the spelling correction suggestions provided by SymSpell are sorted by edit distance and (for equal edit distance) word occurrence frequency.

Usually words with spelling errors are rare and have a lower word occurrence frequency than their correct form. That means that correct words will be on top of the suggestions and come before those suggestions which contain spelling errors.
