[TxMt] sorting in symbol popup

[Kumar McMillan]

Allan has mentioned he still has a lot of features planned for the Go
To Symbol popup.  One I am very eager about is a way to start typing
to filter down the synbol list (like Go To File).  Not sure when these
features will arrive.

Before Go To Symbol I helped put together a similar thing which
displays html or shell output, in a keyboard-navigatable list.  You
can find it by syncing to the subversion Bundles then looking in Run
Command > Defaults > Special Items [...].  There is a "Sorted" command
which does what you were asking.  You will probably want to map it to
a key equivalent in your custom bundle.

I'm not really doing more work on this because of Go To Symbol but I
find myself going back to using it because I too like things
alphabetized (esp. when working on my co-workers' un-alphabetized,
unruly class files -- no names need to be mentioned).  I also like to
see method visibility.
