Description Eden Klein CLA 2008-10-27 05:56:38 EDT 
The implementation of the ModelElementSorter implies that the "APPEARANCE_MEMBER_SORT_ORDER" preference is initialized to some default values.
The sorter tries to sort the elements by their category and then by their name. Since there is no initialization, all of the categories get the same "weight" of importance (zero), so there is no actual sorting by category, only the alphabetical sorting takes place.
the patch suggested adds the initialization of APPEARANCE_MEMBER_SORT_ORDER together with all the other preferences initializations
