Bug 113766

Build 3.2M2

Likely due to bug 113765, when sorting members for following code with syntax
errors, it ends up corrupting the entire source.

//BEFORE
import java.util.*;
public interface X<T> {
	<K> List<Map<K,T> foo(Map<T,K> m);
	<K,E> List<Map<K,E> bar(Map<T,K> m, Map<T,E> e);
}

//AFTER
import java.util.*;
public interface X<T> {
	<K> List<Map<K,E> bar(Map<T,K> m, Map<T,E> e);
	<K,E> List<Map<K,T> foo(Map<T,K> m);
}

Due to bug 113765, some portions of a method signature are left in original code
(i.e. not considered as attached to anything), and thus got ignored when
sorting. But in general, in presence of diet parse errors, any attempt of
sorting elements is likely doomed in a similar fashion.

If so, then I would vote for having the sorting operation do nothing in such cases.
