Instead of adding a boolean argument, can't you just make the default

Right sorry i was wrong about the cache messing things up.
I
 figured out the problem was if the type was text/something and not plain
then text/plain is added as a mime types to also show.

The problem was it was added like say:  ["text/html", "text/plain"] So the
default for plain was put at the top of the results

fixed by adding text/plain as the first item not second, making it
["text/plain", "text/html"]
Then when text/html is searched secondly the default put to the top of the
list is then correct for the specific type.
