Would be nice to have a functionality that reorders methods/functions in the source file as they follow in the header file or vice-versa. |

If you are happy sending me the file for testing purposes, I would like to have a look, and see if I can reproduce this problem. If it can be reproduced then this is a fairly serious problem.
Please submit the files via the form:

including this thread ID or URL in the description, so we can match it up. |

The language is C/C++. The source file in question is C++ implementation of C interface in the header file, which is to be used as an interface to the library. The source file contains implementation of C interface functions some and struct definitions that were only declared in the header file. In this interface structs represent classes and functions represent methods of these classes (they always take `this` pointer as their first argument). I tried to group these functions in the source file according to the class that they provide interface for. I have done this by picking all functions of one class in the Outline and trying to drag them somewhere to one place, which resulted in the mess in the code. I can send you this source file, but as I have said before I am not able to reproduce the bug with it anymore (it has changed since then and I do not know what exactly was changed). I guess it's one of those rare bugs that appear only under certain rare conditions. If I will notice it again, I will let you know. |

Which programming language did you see this problem with?
Were you dragging the functions to a "simple" place in the file, or trying to drag them into a class or namespace?
I have just run some simple tests here using VS2008, VA 1850 with C++ code and I am not seeing any problems. |

Reordering in VA Outline is sometimes buggy. The bug happens when trying to drag several non-sequential functions (selected using Ctrl) in the outline to a single location. VAX messes up the code by placing some of them within another function body. Then I have to use "Undo" and repeat the process by selecting only sequential sets of functions. Unfortunately I cannot reproduce the problem anymore, which is why I have chosen to not to report this bug yet. |

We are considering adding a command to do this:
case=56425
For now, are you aware that you can use drag and drop, or cut and paste, in VA Outline to easily re-order the items in a file?
