Sort class elements

Enables or disables the sorting of class elements.

class TypePrinter
    extends AbstractPrinter
{
    //~ Instance/static variables ----------------------------------------------

    /** Singleton. */
    private final static Printer INSTANCE = new TypePrinter();

    //~ Constructors -----------------------------------------------------------

    /**
     * Creates a new TypePrinter object.
     */
    protected TypePrinter()
    {
    }

    //~ Methods ----------------------------------------------------------------

    public static Printer getInstance()
    {
        return INSTANCE;
    }

    public void print(AST node, ASTWriter out)
               throws IOException
    {
        AST child = node.getFirstChild();
        PrinterFactory.create(child).print(child, out);
    }
}

Ordering

You can specify the order in which static variable/initializer, instance variable, instance initializer, constructor, method, inner class and interface elements should appear in source files by selecting the element type and moving it up or down the list.

If you enable any of the check boxes, all elements of the selected type (within a section) will be sorted too. First by access modifier (public, protected, package protected, private) and - for two elements with the same accessibility - lexicographically. For methods those which follow the Java Bean pattern (getXXX, setXXX, isXXX) will be sorted first.

Ordering

Lets you specify the order in which the individual modifiers should appear. Select an entry and use the Up and Down buttons to move it to the desired location.
