Visual Studio Code : Sort functions by name?

Question

Is it possible to sort functions by name in Visual Studio Code ? I mean, using a keyboard shortcut or even an extension.

Precision: I'm spaeking about sorting the functions in the panel code editor.

You want it to reorder/format the actual code? – epascarello Jan 13 '20 at 16:15 — epascarello, Jan 13 '20 at 16:15
@epascarello yes :) – JarsOfJam-Scheduler Jan 13 '20 at 21:54 — JarsOfJam-Scheduler, Jan 13 '20 at 21:54

If you are here looking for a way to change the order of the symbols list for the breadcrumbs (as I was), you can do that via breadcrumbs.symbolSortOrder setting (in Visual Code > Settings).

I think the need is to EDIT the content of the file. – Jimmy Pannier Oct 14 '21 at 14:00

This is the best workaround until someone figure out how to edit the content of the file though. – Nesha25 Mar 08 '22 at 18:28

Are you aware of the Outline view in the Explorer panel? You can sort by various categories.

See demo. I have sorted by Type to get all the functions together and they are alphabetical.

Thank you! But I would want to actually sort the functions in the code. I know it's possible in Intellij IDE, if I remember well. – JarsOfJam-Scheduler Jan 13 '20 at 21:55

Ahh, an unusual request. I'll leave this answer for people who get here by searching. – Mark Jan 13 '20 at 22:04

It's one of this things where if you tried it once you're gonna want it for the rest of your career. NetBeans has it for Java and I'm basically missing it wherever else. – birgersp Jun 24 '20 at 09:41

This doesn't seem to be working for Python classes – Rafael Sanchez Jul 09 '20 at 11:18
@Rafael I would assume that your language server (python extension) doesn't support it yet. – Mark Jul 09 '20 at 16:31
I take that back... it was "loading" for a while but started working now – Rafael Sanchez Jul 09 '20 at 20:41
Hi there, did you find a solution ? – Johan Chouquet Apr 13 '21 at 13:03

If you are using TypeScript, take a look at member-ordering rule and alphabetize option in tsLint. for other languages like C#, there are probably extensions out there but I haven't looked them up myself.
