Re: Sorting compile time arrays

[Vernon Hamberg <vhamberg@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Chris - Not SEU - IBM have effectively frozen development for SEU.

Instead, how about submitting an RFE for a refactoring option for RDi? 
Or call it a menu option to sort the selected lines?

I know that TextPad and maybe other text editors have tools to sort a 
selection.
