.NET Forum / Visual Studio.NET / IDE / April 2004Sorting Files in Solution Explorer
How can one sort the files in the solution explorer by name? VC++ 6.0 did this automatically, but VS7.1 keeps them in the order added. I've been reading through documentation and searching online, but I haven't succeded in finding such a feature.. Maybe someone has written a macro to do it? Thanks, Chris My experience has been that for C# projects, the files are always sorted, and for C++ projects they are inserted at the end but sorted when the solution is closed and reopened.

On a related note, does anyone know how to change the ordering of files vs. folders? In VC 6 folders always came at the top, just like in Windows Explorer. Now with VC 7 they come at the bottom! Seems like a totally arbitrary change!

Is it VS.Net 2002 you have (VS7)? No, 2003 - this happens on all machines I've seen.
