Description Jesse Glick 2012-08-06 18:26:25 UTC
When "POM model" is shown for a project with complex configuration in itself and/or parents, often there can be dozens of dependencies, plugins, and other such repeated items shown, and it can be very difficult to find a particular item (for example to see in which parent POM it is defined).

Suggest that these be sorted, at least optionally. Could have a button in the bottom toolbar offering sorting modes:

1. definition order
2. by artifactId (usually what is displayed)
3. by groupId, then artifactId

http://hg.netbeans.org/main-silver/rev/40b6289da089

a toggle added that allows sorting lists alphabetically. if turned off, the current occurrence order applies
