Expected behavior

I think it should be separate by category then sort by alphabet

Thanks for the suggestion. It sounds like you want to use the existing sort by type mode, but have a new option for secondary sorting by alphabet (vs. the current sorting by line).

Seems like sort by type then alphabet already exists.

But it also does group by access modifier (private, protected, public).

It would be nice if we could just get sort by type then alphabet and ignore access modifiers.

To cover all possible requirements Codemaid could offer a system where you can define your own sorting order. This could be a list where you can

• add
• remove
• reorder

entries. And you would be able to choose

• type
• alphabet
• alphabet ignore leading underscore
• access modifier
• ...

and it would sort based on what sorting methods are in the list and based on the order of the given methods.

My choice would then be [type, alphabet]. Currently type then alphabet is [type, access modifier, alphabet]. Someone else might like [alphabet ignore leading underscore, access modifier]. And so on.

Not sure if all cases can be covered by this though.

Hello, is it still the same? cannot sort by: "type then alphabet and ignore access modifiers." If still not implemented, voting for it :) would be nice to choose if access modifiers should be ignored.
