Description Dominic Pilbeam CLA 2002-09-05 06:39:42 EDT 
It would be nice to be able to use the format source option to re-order the 
members of a class.
There is a feature like this in VA which allows you to specify the order (e.g. 
constructors, static methods, instance methods) and re-orders the members 
within this structire in alphabetical order.

Another 'nice to have' in this area is to decide whether you want methods 
indented or not. Generally when you're looking at Java source, you know you're 
in the first level of indentation (i.e. a method) so it's a waste of columns to 
indent methods. It would be good to be able to specify this when formatting 
code.
