Is it possible to sort code via Resharper?

Question

CodeRush has this nifty plugin called cr_ClassCleaner that allows me to sort the elements in the class (e.g. methods, private variables, etc...).

Can Resharper 5.x do this, either via the product or plugins?

You'd have to be really careful with a feature like that. If someone use that on a file, while also making some changes, and checked it in, I wouldn't be able to tell what they did to the code. Sounds dangerous. – Thormora

Yes it can. Also, if you like coding style plugins check this: stylecopforresharper.codeplex.com – Kandykane

generally resorting code is a dangerous thing – Binky

Answer 1

Yes - ReSharper, Tools, Cleanup Code.

They recently blogged about customising the type layout this generates.

Answer 2

There is an option in code cleanup to reorder type members. This would be done as part of a full cleanup. If you wanted to only reorder, you could create a cleanup profile that only included that step. You can have multiple cleanup profile.

Answer 3

Ctrl+Alt+F (if you're using the IDEA profile) will take you to the cleanup code menu where you can achieve that.

I am looking at the Cleanup Code dialog, there is an option to reorder code elements. If I proceed with it, it does not sort the methods. – Cacique

I don't think it reorders the contents of each group by default, no. But you can configure it to - see Sorting, Grouping and Regions at the bottom of this blog post. – Microsporophyll
