Hi, If I open a file in a project window (a .bbprojectd window (New->Project…)), files are not neccesarily sorted alphabetically and can be dragged around in the Projects pane. The initial sort order for files in subdirectories seems to be alphabetical though.
If I open a directory via “Open…”, then all files within the “Project” pane are listed and also added alphabetically. — Holger > On 4.
