After selecting quick fix in the problems view a helpful dialog appears offering an ability to fix many problems at once.

But the list of selections is not sorted, making it very difficult to select all instances that corresponding to a particular resource.

Suggest:

as a minimum, selecting the "Resource" heading should sort by that column

the entries should in alphabetical resource then line number order from the outset, with the initial selection as invoked.

a regex match filter box

For now, you can sort the Resources in the Problems view and select all the entries where you want to apply the quick fix.

This bug hasn't had any activity in quite some time. Maybe the problem got resolved, was a duplicate of something else, or became less pressing for some reason - or maybe it's still relevant but just hasn't been looked at yet. As such, we're closing this bug.

If you have further information on the current state of the bug, please add it and reopen this bug. The information can be, for example, that the problem still occurs, that you still want the feature, that more information is needed, or that the bug is (for whatever reason) no longer relevant.
