If the commit says "sort members" that's a good tip ;) Some IDEs like Eclipse
can compare class structures not just files.
The grouping of setter and getters together is one subjective ordering as would

I think there is a big difference between creating a class with sorted
methods, and retrospectively sorting methods in an existing class.
That may improve the readibility of the class, or it may make the
class much harder to read.
For example with getters/setters: if these are kept together in pa
Yes, and Gary's argument is a very high priority driver behind my
alphabetizing. I don't want to maintain groupings. I have concluded a long
time ago that my time is wasted doing that stuff in code.

FWIW, there's no solution that can make someone happy. Personally, I always
alphabetize my methods because it's the most straightforward ordering -- no
one has to guess why things are grouped together and sometimes groupings
can get complex. I simply let people follow the javadocs/comments to make
Adopting a guideline like this is still a subjective arrangement. It's also
takes time to maintain, not something I'm found of doing. To reach his own I
