In the "Outline" pane, the one that lists a class' methods and members, the listing is in order of declaration.

Any way to change that ordering to alphabetical?

With eclipse 3.5.0 you have a button "Sort" within your outline view. Clicking on this button will sort the methods and members.

  • @AaronFi: I don't know if it was like this back then, but now (Eclipse 4.5.2), the "Outline" view *remembers* the order you chose. Confusingly, there is no real configuration setting for that. **Also, editors which are already open when you change the ordering are not affected by that change**. In contrast, for any newly opened files, it will stick to the last selected setting. – zb226 May 31 '16 at 15:34
