Why not indeed, done in my followup patches: https://github.com/b4n/geany/commits/wip/techee/symbollist_sort There are two commits: [one changing the UI and the settings layout](https://github.com/b4n/geany/commit/cda78b994cb6a74ae02b487d25e8c709eea9bed8), and [one switching to stash prefs because it's shorter and simpler](https://github.com/b4n/geany/commit/7738a1fdc868aa68e28820f0c87f4479013069c4). Feel free to squash at your convenience, even making one single commit from yours and mine. --- Reply to this email directly or view it on GitHub: https://github.com/geany/geany/pull/581#issuecomment-170404783
