Some programmers have made a modified version of SCCText.prg, to sort methods before generating the text - perhaps you can find what the necessary commands are, by searching the message area.

Gracias Hilmar,

I don't have the SCCText but can use the class browser. But I didn't know about a word comand to compare files! What a find. I do have a file compare utility ahich may be better in this case.

Glen Domericki indicates that his approach in SourceCompare is to sort the methods and probably properties alphabetically. Nice solution.

Thanks again,

Alex
