Feature Request - Spade sorting: By type, then alphabetical (only)

[ghost]

Whe sorting by type, then alphabetical, the actual behaviour is: By type, then by access, then alphabetical.

I would like to ask for an additional sort option for spade:

"When sorting by type, secondary sort should be by..." ( ) file order ( ) access then alphabetical ( ) alphabetical (only)

The second option is the current behaviour (labeled as "alphabetical"), but should be renamed as shown. The third option is new and reflects my feature request.

This FR is related to #322.

Thanks for the suggestion. So would you never include access in the sort order, or is it lower in the sort order?

The idea is to look and feel like Visual Studio's "Object Browser" when it's set to "Group By Member Type".

The use case is: "Digging a complex class and see all overloaded members at a glance." Since overloaded members share the same name they will show up coherently in an alphabetically sorted list.

Putting the access in a lower sort order wouldn't break my use case - so I thinks it's OK.

Hi, voting for second sorting, shoud have option alphabetical (only), would be nice to choose if access modifiers should be ignored.
