    I was moderating a would-be article which gives a command line app to sort methods in source files, and I thought "It's not an article, but surely you can do this inside VS?" So...a quick google later, I found this: Code Maid[^] It sorts methods (and lines, but that's less useful) into alphabetical order, dumps extra lines, etc. Looks very nice!

    I've used it for a while now and I like it, but doesn't format large HTML content well but it does help

      I hope it has the ability to sort only the lines within a selection. I added the ability to sort (all or selected) lines to my editor a few weeks ago; when you need it, you need it. I used it a couple of times just yesterday.

        It does indeed. I know what you mean: I tend to copy'n'paste to PsPad and do sorting and suchlike there as it's quite a bit more powerful than the VS editor - though MS are catching up, very slowly.

          Either it craps out with VS2012 (c++ project) or it does not play well with Visual Assist, but it freezes my VS2012 IDE ... so, uninstall... :thumbsdown:

            I've used MZ-Tools for years. Code sorting is one of the many things it does. You can even sort by scope if you want. And it does sorting on selected code. It's not free though (unless you're coding in VB6!!). Worth the price, in my opinion.

              Has anyone compared this to refactoring in ReSharper? Is it worth it to try if someone already has ReSharper installed? It does seem pretty interesting...

                Looks cool. I was quite put out when I could no longer use ReSharper to sort methods in a class.

                  ReSharper's default sort behavior is alpha, and it jumbles up code elements. Example:

                  private Label cellLabel;
                  private Panel CheapGrid\_Panel;
                  private List ColumnCells;
                  private IContainer components;
                  public Cell CurrentCell;
                  private int currentRow, currentCol, lastRow, lastCol;
                  private bool FloatingEditEnabled;
                  private int left, top;
                  

                  It also will move value fields (int, bool, etc.) so they precede a Form Load method, and put Properties after the Form Load method. In fact, I submitted a suggestion to JetBrains about ten days ago that the default sort should group various types of .NET objects separately, and use at least a blank line to separate the groups. ReSharper does expose a complex api that you could use to customize the sort order: [^], however, I do not have time/motivation to become a ReSharper hacker. ReSharper is an amazingly "deep" tool, and I could not imagine programming without it :) cheers, Bill

                    No ones mentioned the best bit it's free ... I have used it on and off for literally years it's been around at least 5 The one real goody is the file structure window - like r# and vac It's worth a look it does all sorts of formatting and clean ups Check out VS gallery it's in there Mike
