Yes.  The default is to offer all possible completions at the same
time, but you can change that with the tag-order zstyle.

The default behaves mostly like this:
zstyle :completion::complete:cd:: tag-order "local-directories
named-directories"
(all tags in the same space-separated string are offered at the same time)

What you want is more like this:
zstyle :completion::complete:cd:: tag-order local-directories named-directories

You can reverse the order if you prefer to see the named-directories first:
zstyle :completion::complete:cd:: tag-order named-directories local-directories

Anything in a tag you don't include in the list will be offered if
there are no results for the tags you do list.
