Bug 22555 – Sort "children" sections in Xcode project files

• Status: RESOLVED
• Resolution: FIXED
• Component: Tools / Tests

[David Kilzer (:ddkilzer)]

*SUMMARY
The sort-Xcode-project-file script currently only sorts "files" sections of an Xcode project file.  It would be nice if it also sorted the "children" sections (leaving groups or folders at the top) to provide more alphabetic goodness when using Xcode.

Proposed patch.

Note that I found some duplicate header files listed in WebCore's Xcode project after running this script on it.

I want individual Xcode project updates reviewed before landing them in case there are objections.

Sort "children" and "files" sections of Xcode project files

Posting this for review in case there are any red flags.

The only section that people may have issues with is the "main" section immediately under the project itself.  I can back out changes to those sections in each Xcode project file if needed.  (I just want the rest resorted.)

Will commit individual changes for each project file when landing this (with a ChangeLog entry).

Also, the duplicates in WebCore's project file will be resolved after sorting.

This looks fine.  rubber-stamp = me.  Regarding the "main" section, I think that we should match whatever the sort order is for default XCode projects that people (especially apple-ites) are used to.  But I don't really have a very strong opinion on that.

Thanks for doing this!

xenon, bdash and smfr didn't want the main section sorted (the one immediately below the top-level project), so I will back out those changes before I land any patches.

I may endeavor to update the script to ignore that section as well, if I can figure out how to identify it generically.

Don't sort mainGroup

Don't sort the mainGroup in a project file (the top-level group under the project file).

Clearing Eric Seidel's review+ on this attachment.  Note that this patch wasn't landed; I reran the script after adding code to ignore the mainGroup children section.
