Description Blessed Geek

Build Identifier: 201108101000

There times when I just wish to sort constructors. At times, just the fields and initializers. Sometimes, just the nested classes and enums. Or the methods only. Or the setters/getters only.

Right now, I wish to sort the getters and setters grouped by attribute without sorting constructors, fields or nested classes or enums. There is no such feature.

Therefore, I am proposing that Sort Members should be reorganised into check boxes like this:

_ Sort Constructors
  _ Alphabetically
  _ Order by public, protected, private, package-private
  _ group all constructors together

_ Sort classes and Enums (and in the future 1st clacs funcs/closures-whatever)
  _ group by classes, enums, etc

_ Sort methods

_ Sort getters/setters
  _ group by attribute name



Reproducible: Always

I'm not sure there's plans to do this currently... Dani?

Are you proposing to reorganize the menu or the preferences?
