    Is there any way in Blend to sort your resource dictionary alphabetically? Now that I've got over 50 items and brushes in there, it's getting very disorganized.

    Thanks

    Unfortunately, there is none today.

    Please note that you cannot always sort dictionary entries alphabetically. As an example:

    <Brush x:Key="B" />
    <Style x:Key="A>
       <Setter Property="Background" Value="{StaticResource B}" />
    </Style>

    If you sort this alphabetically, the application will not work as the resource declarations should appear before they are referred to using static resource extensions. In Blend, when you create a resource, we try out best to prevent you from getting into this state.

    Thanks,
    Unni
