Description

Originally submitted to Google Code by steven.j... on 30 May 2013

There is a feature to sort Keywords alphabetically which is really helpful to organize them.

However, files under External Resources cannot be sorted in the same way which brings quite a difficulty to review them if many files are included.

I am wondering if there is any solutions or workaround. Thanks!

Research direction

Start by locating the External Resources UI and the existing alphabetical Keyword-sorting behavior; the issue does not name specific files or tests. Trace how resource files are displayed, then verify that included files appear alphabetically and that the existing Keyword sorting remains unchanged.
