This plugin provides techniques to sort methods in Java-classes, aiming to increase the readability of the source code.
Use
- To sort methods in the active Java editor: open a Java source file and choose Source → Sort Methods... from the main menu (or right-click in the editor and use the Source context menu).
- To sort multiple items at once: select one or more compilation units, a package, or a project in the Package Explorer (or Project Explorer), then run Source → Sort Methods... — the plugin will process the selected elements recursively.
- Preferences: configure behavior in Window → Preferences → Java Method Sorter.
