Hi Xbliters!
Please find attached SortSource_v2_24_sources.zip, which contains
SortSource.x, everything that you would need to re-build and
SortSource_install.iss on top of it.
In fact, I can't send the Inno Installer SortSource_v2_24_setup.exe.
===================================================================
That means that I have to find a way to provide with the very useful
WinX.dll (Callum Lowcay's Windows GUI library).
If WinX.dll is a problem to deliver, I can undertake the task of making
SortSource.x pure win32API.
In the mean time, you can study its sources.
What is SortSource?
SortSource is an application that I have created
primarily because I needed it, then to acquire skills in
WinX.dll programming.
SortSource.exe sorts all the functions of an xblite program in
alphabetic order.
It's a tool for sorting the FUNCTION DECLAREs by name
except the very first FUNCTION (program's entry point),
which remains first.
As the number of FUNCTIONs of a program grows,
it becomes difficult to single out a FUNCTION.
I always sort my FUNCTIONs by name
and it helps me to group together related
FUNCTIONs by using a commun prefix.
I have consistently done this for the past 45 years,
and I am quite satisfied with this habit.

Hi Xbliters!
I spent 1/2 day trying to port SortSource.x in pure Win32 API and it’s
frustrating, even with the help of viXen and WinMerge.
Really, Callum Lowcay's Windows GUI library WinX is just a gem that I’m
happy to make use of it (big thanks to you, Callum!).
I will be AFK (again!-)) for 2 weeks and I will pick up where I left
when I’m back to keyboard.
Bye! Guy

Hi David,
Thank you for chipping in!
When I post and attach a ZIP file, Google blocks executables (*.exe and
*.dll, as far as I experienced).
Anyway, I prefer to distribute the sources, as it is a safer practice in
our world full of viruses.
And I'm working on doing so. (but not right away, as I'm going to travel
next week and beyond)

Hi Xbliters!
Please find attached:
1_SortSource.zip: SortSource.x in Win32 API sugar-coated with WinX.dll;
2_WinX.zip, Callum Lowcay's Windows GUI library..
Nothing is in executable form: all is ready for a compile with the
xblite.exe of your home computer.
You know the drill:
1.Unzip 1_SortSource.zip in C:\xblite\MyProgs\ SortSource
2.Unzip 2_WinX.zip in C:\xblite\MyLibs\WinX (my personal choice)
3.Fire XSEd on C:\xblite\MyLibs\WinX\WinX.x
4.Compile WinX.x with the sequences:
- 4.a)Shift+F9/F10 => C:\xblite\MyLibs\WinX\WinX.dll
- 4.b)Check the box ‘clean’/F10 => C:\xblite\programs\WinX.dll
5.Compile SortSource.x with the sequences:
- 5.a)Open with Ctrl+O C:\xblite\MyProgs\SortSource\SortSource.x
- 5.b)Uncheck the box ‘clean’/F9/F10 =>
C:\xblite\MyProgs\SortSource\SortSource.exe
- 5.c)Check the box ‘clean’/F10 => C:\xblite\programs\SortSource.exe
That works like a charm for me, myself and I, so we collectively wish
you good luck!
