Imagine a user with several beans - navigating to the right one would be difficult without sorting. Plus, it's extremely confusing that it doesn't match the logical view ordering.
Are you referring to the list of beans in the runtime, under the deployed module node?
No, I mean in the config editor left hand side.
I'm not sure that there is a good way to correlate with the logical ordering in ejb-jar.xml. I think it can be done, but I doubt it's worth the effort required -- there are many little nasty edge cases if the user decides to move things around in that file and we have to adjust our ordering accordingly. Also with the advent of annotations, this entire subject is probably moot. However, it is probably not difficult to order named beans alphabetically. What do you think of this idea?
Alphabetically is what I was hoping for =).
Fixed by using TreeSet intead of HashSet for bean lists and implementing Comparable. http://serverplugins.netbeans.org/source/browse/serverplugins/sun/sunddui/src/org/netbeans/modules/j2ee/sun/share/config/ConfigBeanStorage.java?r1=1.3.6.2.2.2&r2=1.3.6.2.2.3
