Description hadrabap 2014-06-16 11:05:26 UTC 
It should be nice to have maven-based dependencies sort by name in the IDE rather than by the definition(s) in pom.xml.
Comment 1 Tomas Zezula 2014-06-16 14:32:35 UTC 
Even it seems nice at the first look, it's probably not what you want (at least not by default). The Maven dependencies  list order implies resources order on classpath. The classpath order according to JLS implies resource (class) loading. The first resource of given name in cp order is loaded.

Maybe an option on Dependencies node.
Comment 2 t_gergely 2017-08-11 11:51:53 UTC 
The list IS sorted (see Bug 212530), still some options are needed (e.g. order by classpath; hide/de-emphasize transitive dependencies; show them as subnodes; group by groupId).
