Hi!

Maybe you can add a sort feature for methods/variables of a class in code 
formatter? OK, is not possible for 2.0, but I'd like to have it in 2.1 :)

My Suggestion: code formatter should be sort class things (methods, vars) like 
in outline view. I like this sorting (static vars first then static methods, 
then vars and then methods, each group alphabeticaly).

Cu, Gunnar

Reopen bug and moving to JDT Core since they own the formatter

Unsure this belongs to formatting, as it may change the source in a non-
compatible way. Think of innerclasses which are numbered in declaration order 
X$1, X$2, ... 

Formatting is not changing the semantics of a program, simply the layout.

Would rather need to be a separate operation, which can easily be achieved in 
term of JavaModel APIs.
