Hi,

I noticed that in the VA View the members of a struct are sorted alphabetically. It seems to me that it is more logical to keep the order as in the struct definition because then the VA View can be used to decipher struct initialisation constructions.

For example:

struct Test {
int z;
int a;
};

Test t = { 1, 2 };


If you now hover over 'Test' then VA View will confusingly show something like this:

Test
\\- a
\\- z

From which you might conclude that a will become 1 and z will become 2, where it is actually the opposite.

NOTE: this is a fictitious example, I get this behaviour on a real code, but this test code does not work at all. I will make another post about that: http://forum.wholetomato.com/forum/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=6394

regards,
eli
