Hi
I've created a few pages preferences using the plugin
org.eclipse.ui.preferences. But the problem is I want the General
preference page is always at the top and other preferences pages are
listed in alphabetical order as Eclipse did. For example:
root -> General (node - preference page)
-> A (node - preference page)
-> B (node - preference page)
-> C (node - preference page)
-> ...
Does anybody kwnow how Eclipse have done that for their preferences
pages?
Thanks for your help.

You need to specify root as the parent of the A, B & C preference pages

I did it by using the option Category of the plugin
org.eclipse.ui.preferencePages for indicating the location of the
preference pages in the tree but when i open the preferences dialog, the
tree automatically sorted the node names by alphabetical order. So I don't
know how to specify the root of the nodes as you say. Please tell me more
details about this.
Thanks a lot!

The category for A,B&C should be the id of the root. Is it possible to share
the plugin.xml ?

In fact, the preferences pages I created are in some different plug-ins so
I can't share all of them, just an example:
<extension point="org.eclipse.ui.preferencePages">
<page
class="RootPage"
id="root"
name="Root">
</page>
<page
category="root"
class="GeneralPage"
id="general"
name="General">
</page>
<page
category="root"
class="APage"
id="A"
name="A">
</page>
<page
category="root"
class="BPage"
id="B"
name="B">
</page>
<page
category="root"
class="CPage"
id="C"
name="C">
</page>
<page
category="root"
class="XPage"
id="X"
name="X">
</page>
</extension>
I grouped all the preferences pages by using the id of the root. The
result I received is
root -> A (node - preference page)
-> B (node - preference page)
-> C (node - preference page)
-> General (node - preference page)
-> X
But I want General node is always at the top.
