8.1.5 Sorting information

As with many of the other tools in the LispWorks IDE, you can sort the items in any of the lists or graphs of the Class Browser using the Preferences dialog. Raise this dialog as described in Setting preferences, and then select Class Browser in the list on the left side.

Figure 8.4 Setting Class Browser preferences

Under the General tab, there are three options for sorting items, listed in the Sort panel.

• Unsorted - Displays items in the order they are defined in.
• By Name - Sorts items alphabetically by name. This is the default setting.
• By Package - Sorts items alphabetically by package name.
