Alphabetizing methods in Visual Studio

Question

Is there any sort of plug-in or tool available for Visual Studio 2008 to alphabetize methods? Ideally I\'d like a tool that will alphabetize a selection, or specified type

Answer 1

While Resharper has many cool features it has a large impact in CPU and I/O usage and can be very complicated to use. It is also only available under commercial licensing unless you qualify for a few very specific free use licenses.

Try CodeMaid. It is free for commercial use and has a much lower performance overhead. I find it easy to use and it is very good for alphabetizing methods.

To sort your file, open the file via solution explorer:

1. Right click the open file
2. Code Maid menu (likely near the top of the right click menu)
3. Click Reorganize Active Document

Alternatively, using the default CodeMaid hotkeys CTRL+M,Z to sort your active file.
