Sorry for the complaining tone of the above; I don't mean it that way, but I also do not have time to fix it right now.
I don't really understand your problem. In all Pharo images, the default System Browser orders classes of the selected package/category hierarchically and not alphabetically. -- Damien Cassou http://damiencassou.seasidehosting.st "Lambdas are relegated to relative obscurity until Java makes them popular by not having them."
