[MonoDevelop] How can I reorder project items from project options widget?

[lost]

Ok, I'll take a look on MD core.

Primary difference between VS and MD here is that MD sorts files by name in
project tree. It is possible to reorder files in tree by doing the following
steps: patch MD (or create project system extension if possible) so that it
allows language binding to decide whether files in tree should be sorted,
patch MD so that it could change item order on save, write custom
drag'n'drop handler for tree to allow drag'n'drop reordering.

I can appear online in IRC tomorrow. What server do you use?
