    Hi all,
    can qt designer action editor sort by action name? When there are too many actions in form, it's troublesome to operate or find.

      No such option exist. Please note these will turn into vars in code. May not be practical to sort them.but you shud see them according tomenu in obect window.

          While there's no built in option to do that the actions are displayed in the order they appear in the .ui file, which is just a simple xml format.
          You can sort the file using something like xmllint's --c14n option and hook that up in the Qt Creator as external tool (Tools ->External->Configure). After that you can even give it a shortcut (Tools->Options->Environment->Keyboard) so you have a quick access to it.
