Bug 63799 – check-webkit-style might better flag unsorted files enties in project.pbxproj

We should run Tools/Scripts/sort-Xcode-project-file when adding files in project.pbxproj.

I don’t think it’s particularly useful to require that the Xcode file be resorted after every single change.  Is there some reason that you think it would be beneficial to do this?

Hi Mark,

Thank you for a comment.

I usually run sort-Xcode-project-file when I add new files and upload a patch to review.  If a project.pbxproj isn't sorted in advance, my patch includes irrelevant stuff and I just don't want including them.   In addition, I sometimes need to resolve a conflict regarding this problem during review process, which is not needed in essence.  Anyway, if we need not sort them when we land a patch, I don't stick it.  Some reviewers recommended to sort them when I  sent  a patch to review, though.

I recommend to sort it in reviews in order to avoid merge conflicts.

[David Levin]

I have mixed feelings about this.
I think the sorting is recommended however I don't believe many reviewers flag it, and I don't know if we should nit it really.

Perhaps this deserves a quick note to webkit-dev to get a feeling on whether folks think this is something that we should be enforcing.

Well, if it's sorted after every change, then it's never out of sorts. :)  I'm not sure how much this is buying us though.

This should suggest using sort-xcode-proj, otherwise people won't know what to do.

Thank you for comment. Revised the patch (but I'm not sure whether everyone can agree with doing this.)

Done.

[David Levin]

fwiw, I don't object. (If folks want to review it and get it landed, then if there are problems it could be re-evaluated.)
