Description Gary Gregory CLA 2002-11-14 17:36:18 EST 
Methods are sorted alphabetically within their own kind as set in the 
preferences. This is /very/ quite nice. I would like to be able to be able to 
sort the methods in the source so that they match what I see in the members 
pane.

Now, I click on a method and edit it, then I want to scroll to the next methods 
as I SEE IT in the Members pane, but, this view is misleading since the sorted 
relationship is NOT enforced b/w the Members view and the Editor view.

So I propose a new preference: a check box to keep the source code in the same 
order as the sort order specified on the preference page.

Thank you for considering this request,
Gary

It should even be able to sort members of local types.
