How to specify the order of class members when formatting in Eclipse

Question

In Eclipse IDE how do you customize the Java code style formatter to have it sort the class members with a specified order, for example to group all instance methods by visi

Answer 1

If the question is, "how do you customize the 'Source -> Format' command to re-order members?", I don't think it can be done. To change the order used for the 'Source -> Sort Members' command, change the "Members Sort Order" preference: "Window -> Preferences -> Java -> Appearance -> Members Sort Order"
