Question

Imagine a following public method:

public void DoSomethingWithInput(Input input)
{
    if (IsInputNice(input))
    {
        DoNiceThingsWithInput(input);
    }
    else if (IsInputUgly(input))
    {
        DoUglyThingsWithInput(input);
    }
    else
    {
        HandleUnknownInput(input);
    }
}

Now, provided all methods used inside are private, I would like to be able to sort them so that they appear beneath the DoSomethingWithInput method in the order they are used:

private bool IsInputNice(Input input) { }
private void DoNiceThingsWithInput(Input input) { }
private bool IsInputUgly(Input input) { }
private void DoUglyThingsWithInput(Input input) { }
private void HandleUnknownInput(Input input) { }

In other words, I want to be able to sort all methods by access modifier first and usage order second. Is there a way to achieve this automatically (e.g. by some Visual Studio extension)?

Thank you!

Maybe Regionerate can help you?
