Hi.  I'm working with an older program which has many, many globals.  When in the debugger, I need to check the values of a couple of these globals every now and then.  Yes, I know about the 'watch' capability but the names of those I need to check changes often.  While in debug mode, is there some way I can convince the IDE to list these variables in alphabetical order?

Thanks.

What about the debug window (in the lower screen), tab Globals?
No. no way to get them alphabetically ordered. Maybe a feature request?

Wow - thank you.  Such super service...

It took me awhile for me to figure out this add-in as I did not notice the updated tool bar.  I kept checking the "Auto, Watch, Locals, Globals, etc. tabs on the debug window...

At first glance, it appears my locals are not being "seen" by the add-in.  My app is a console program if that makes any difference.  I'm still very happy as it is the globals which were driving me nuts.

Many thanks again.
