Description G. Ralph Kuntz, MD CLA 2006-08-21 11:44:19 EDT 
It would be nice if Eclipse had a Java annotation to disable sorting on a particular enum.  All others could still be sorted with the menu 'Source->Sort Members...'.
Comment 1 Dani Megert CLA 2006-08-22 02:22:27 EDT 
Since sorting isn't done in JDT Core we, UI could do this but not sure whether we should introduce the annotation or JDT Core.

Sounds like yet another candidate of our discussed "annotation" mechanism.
Comment 2 Martin Aeschlimann CLA 2006-08-22 10:23:55 EDT 
There is alreayd a dialog that asks if you want to sort enum constants. Isn't that good enough?

No. Most enums I want sorted, but the few that map to database constants, I do not. The current system is all-or-none.
Comment 4 Martin Aeschlimann CLA 2006-08-29 05:25:56 EDT 
To be honest, 'Sort Members' isn't on the top of our list for additional features. We would like to keep the feature as simple as possible. Setting to later and helpwanted.
Comment 5 Denis Roy CLA 2009-08-30 02:17:59 EDT 
As of now 'LATER' and 'REMIND' resolutions are no longer supported.
Please reopen this bug if it is still valid for you.
