Files in Solution Explorer not sorted
-
With VS7 the items in the file view are not sorted alphabetically like they have been in VS6. This makes it nearly impossible to look up a file in a large project. Does anybody know if it is possible to restore the old behavior? Or are there other possibilities to get a sorted file list? Oliver

Yes, at least 2 options. -Edit the .vcproj with a xml tool, and sort the stuff out. -Use this[^] project converter to build the .dsp project. Reopen the .dsp project in VC6, so to make sure they are sorted, overwrite, and open it again in VC7 (you'll be asked it for upgrade confirm).
Back to real work : D-26.

We do not use static project files but generate them from a project description (there are makefiles generated from the same description on UNIX and VMS). This means we would have to implement sorting during the generation which will require some effort. For your suggestions: They will work for sure. But you have to repeat this procedure every time after you added some files. Thanks for your reply! Oliver
