Project order Eclipse project explorer view

Question

Is this possible in eclipse to put project in order like order by name or order which i would like to add. I have around 30 projects in eclipse i want to see them with some order like alphabetic order. Is this possible in eclipse?

Answer 1

You can follow these step to re arrange you project

Window-> preferences -> General -> work space -> Build order

Here you can rearrange project build order but you can not define any rule like All project should come in Alphabetic order.

Answer 2

you can define "Working Sets" (ie a named group of projects) those can be ordered. But I think you cannot reorder the projects within those working sets (at least I've never seen such an option).
