| Reorder properties in class? [message #625516] |

Maybe I'm missing something, but I can't find any way to change the order in which class properties appear in the diagram. Is there some keyboard shortcut I am overlooking, or is it really impossible to reorder the properties without deleting and recreating them in the desired order? TIA for any help.

Vlad, thanks for your detailed reply.
I took a look at the Omondo web site and the product seems pretty solid, but I think it will be overkill for the project I'm working on...
I'm pretty happy with most of the functionality provided by the standard UML2 Tools editor, and I've been able to generate a lot of useful code from the XMI just by using XSL. As long as I can generate code from the model, I have 99% of what I need already, so I'm not sure it's worth it to add a large tool like Omondo just for this small bit of functionality.
The ability to reorder properties really feels like it should be a core feature... if someone can point me in the right general direction I'm willing to take a shot at adding the feature; it seems like it shouldn't be too difficult to implement.
I have zero experience hacking Eclipse so if someone can point me toward some information on adding a context menu entry and a keyboard shortcut that would be very helpful. There are some other things I'd like to see keyboard shortcuts for as well (creating a new property or method come to mind); I'll probably add those too while I'm at it, maybe there's a chance the patch will make it in. ;)
