Thank you for taking the time to suggest this enhancement to our product. Many of our product enhancements result from feedback from our customers, so your input is always very important to us. We do not have plans to address your request over the next 18 months due to limited time and many competing priorities, but may consider it at a later time.
If after 18 months, this continues to be important for you business needs, please feel free to resubmit for reconsideration during an appropriate planning cycle.
Again, thank you for your suggestion and continued support!
The sort should just work as designed but keep in mind associated multi-line specs.
Example, before sort:
D AReallyLongFieldName...
D S 15A
After sort:
D S 15A
D AReallyLongFieldName...
Any source line with multi-line definitions (eg. keywords) the relationship is lost with sorting but i line to dump a lot of d-specs into a program source then iron out the needs and have then sorted at the end.
Even the Linoma tool box sort does not keep associated line together.
How did you want to sort the D-Specs - alphabetically?, by type?
It would also be nice if we could access this feature through a right-click. So I could highlight some code, and right click and see a Sort feature. This exposes the function to people like me who right-click and see what options are available. Until I was told about this request I didn't know I could sort.
