Alphabetizing methods in Visual Studio

Question

Is there any sort of plug-in or tool available for Visual Studio 2008 to alphabetize methods? Ideally I'd like a tool that will alphabetize a selection, or specified type (i.e. only methods, not member variables), either automatically or on-demand.

Thanks!

Answer 1

Assuming that you mean alphabetize them in the source code file; No, there is not. And I don't really think that would be a good thing, as most procedures are organized via different means.

However, I believe in Visual Studio, the drop-down on the right for the most part alphabetizes them. Also, in the Object Browser of Visual Studio, I believe they are mostly alphabetized.

Answer 2

Resharper has a Type Members Layout, which can order members by type, accessibility and alphabetically as well.

You can also take a look into Ora, which presents a pane in visual studio that is ordered (even though your source may not be).

Answer 3

You can create such a function yourself using Devexpress' free DXCore product (the same extensibility framework used to create CodeRush).

Answer 4

For C# you can use Regionerate to organize your code. You can create a template that simply organizes your code but doesn't use regions.
