Description Axel RICHARD

It would be fine to be able to sort alphabetically subtrees in the tree of model explorer. Something like selecting a set of nodes, right click, context menu displays a "sort A..Z" entry and its sorts the set of selected nodes.

The original requests comes from UML Designer : https://github.com/ObeoNetwork/UML-Designer/issues/903

Hi Axel, 


The choice currently made by Sirius is to display the semantic elements in the same order than a call to eContents() (grouped by features and then by index in their containment features). Changing this might disturb many users.

The model explorer is based on CNF, this enhancement should be done directly in UML Designer which could provide its own CommonSorter and action to do trigger this change (activate/disabled the common sorter) if required


Regards, 

Maxime
