Hi Eliot, hi Chris,

what about adding the preference #sortMonticelloRepositoriesAlphabetically like we have #sortMessageCategoriesAlphabetically ?

Best,

Hi Eliot,

I care that something in the IDE isn't working optimally for you.  I do certainly prefer when we engage in a deliberative work style, so when I went to use those legacy IDE functions and found this change to be the reason I couldn't, I took care not to fix it more aggressively than it was committed, and remain sensitive to your use-case to help get it in properly.

So that's good to know you were referring to the "all" list, that should make it just a presentation issue then..

What model is it part of?


Monticello's.  MCWorkingCopyBrowser's.
 

And if it is, how come the GUI doesn't let you change that order?


It's "demote to bottom" on the menu.  But it seemed to have gotten broke due to the #repositories list always being sorted.

My hope is that Eliot's use-case is for only when there are no WorkingCopy's selected, thus showing _all_ repositories -- because we can sort that output.  But sorting as far as when an individual WorkingCopy is selected, it breaks one or two use cases.

It's the "show all repositories" use case I care about.  I certainly *don't* (and didn't) intend to change the sort order of an individual package's repositories. I understand how I f**ked up now.  I apologize.  Maybe I can do better next time?
