Is it possible to have class member data be listed in the suggestions box in memory order rather than alphabetical order?

Thanks!

What do you mean by memory order? The order the members are declared in the header file? Or something else?

If the members are no longer in alphabetical order, isn't this going to make it harder to find the item you want in the listbox?

Yeah, I mean the way they are declared in the header. Sometimes I'm constantly tabbing between header/source to determine the memory layout of the class. I'd be nice to just see it in the listboxes. I figure its not a feature most people would want so I wouldn't be disappointing if it wasn't added.

I don't think this has ever come up before, and its unlikely we would add an option for this.

Why don't you just show the header file along side the cpp file? Open the header file, and use:

IDE Window menu -> New Vertical Tab Group

you can now work in the cpp file while reading the order in the header file at the same time.

Alternatively add comments to the class members, and rely on VA showing you the comments in the tooltips for the current item in the listbox?

I would +1 on this request, as the chore of doing what you suggest for about 200 classes is quite daunting. And in GCC the warning "...when initialized here" just peppers the build log, and I would assume VA already has all information in order to do this.

Are you talking about the order that class members are initialized on a class constructor? It sounds like it from the warning message.

If so then we are considering adding a feature to make sure that the member variables are initiated in the right order:

case=8368

I read the original post as asking for the ordering of members in a listbox when typing, which is quite a different thing.
