aplatypus opened a new issue #3861:
URL: https://github.com/apache/netbeans/issues/3861
### Description
* I recommend we list Gradle subprojects tree (or sub-sub-projects) in
Alphabetical order of sub-project name
* The Gradle subprojects tree is in some random order as far as I can tell.
* A picture is worth 1,000 words ...
* The current arrangement makes it very difficult find a specific
project, especially things that belong together.
* The order can change too between one session and the next Netbeans
session
* It like hunt and peck all over again.
* I do not have Ant or Maven projects to compare with, but I wonded if they
are also in some strange order
### Use case/motivation
* Find and open sub-projects faster and more effectively
* I am looking for a specific sub-project (say TestSupport) well, it is not
after "S" it might be anywhere
* With TestSupport looking for "Test..." is as fast as it might be because
* 3 or 4 sub-projects may be available in
* they can be in completely different locations on the tree
* Want projects of similar nomencluature say TestSupport, TestingData,
TestUi, etc.
* These are named so to keep them together and then Netbeans project
tree just shuffles the up
* This implementaton just slows me / others down scanning the list
### Related issues
* Consider issue `org.gradle.java.home` issues:
* #3858
* #3857
* One of the major reasons within the GUI to need to reopen subprojects is
to ensure that thissetting is correct for our project
* I think it would be wonderfull to be able to `right-click` on a
sub-project in the Gradle sub-projects tree and select from the same 'project'
actions menu to change something like an attirbute/property without needing to
actually re-open the project ...
* That is not to say that every opeion be available on closed a
sub-project; some may well be greyed-out
* After all we are talking about settings / They ought not need a project
open to be altered
* Setting changes should persist -- Not as "cache" files
*
