In my opinion it would be nice to have the possibility to sort the symbols in VA Outline.

Important is not to destroy the tree #if../classname/accessibility.

So possible options could be:

Sort classnames in headerfile (.h) inlinefile (.inl) sourcefile (.cpp)
Sort methodsymbols/datasymbols inside classes/specific class in headerfile (.h) inlinefile (.inl) sourcefile (.cpp)
Sort accessability inside classes/ specific class in headerfile (.h)

The reason is for this feature is, that code merging is easier if the code in the files is sorted, especially when to merge over a bigger version distance.

thanks

When you mention merging the code, have you considered using a diff program? For example winmerge? This is a free utility that I have often used:

One reason for not sorting the list is that VA Outline is designed to allow you to drag and drop / cut and paste items to re-order the current file, and also to track your position in the file, so you have a sense of where in the file you are.
