Thanks very much. The alphabetical ordering of the items is great for finding them via browser or outline view, and seems to be working perfectly.
But ... (sorry to gripe) ... there are some issues with the search facility and the menu to perform class operations.
1. The search textfield and menu are in the wrong view, so they appear all the time (ie if the panel is showing 'Objects', or 'Images' or 'Sounds' or 'File' information, not just when it is displayin 'Classes'. I think that looks a bit wierd and probably confusng for some people.
2. The default item in the pulldown menu should probably be one which doesn't do anything, so that if you click on the menu and change your mind, you don't end up creating a subclass you then need to delete. NeXTstep used 'Operations' for this.
3. I think the search is case sensistive ... perhaps it would be better if it wasn't.
4. it might also be even better if the search handled incomplete matches, so typing 'nsm' would jump to NSMenu.
5. Getting really, really picky now ... could the right hand end of the menu line up with the right hand side of ther outline/borowser view, and could the menu width stay constant when the panel is resized, so only the search textfield grows/shrinks?
Thanks for all the work you have done on this.
