[Cmake] howto sort a cmake list ?

[Michael T. Wagner]

Hi Bill,

thanks for answering - I'm using CMake to generate a VC7 project from a list
${CTRLGUI_SRC} which contains like 60 files.
When opening the project in VC7, the source files show up in the "Source
Files"- and "Header Files"-Folder of the Solution Explorer in the same order
they are listed in the ${CTRLGUI_SRC} list.
There are QT_WRAPPER macros and other special handling involved for some
files so its not possible to assemble the list alphabetically in the
CMakeLists-file just by hand.
Well to make a long story short it would be just more convenient to have the
files in the "Solution Explorer"-folders sorted alphabetically.
I guess i go ahead then and try to add a SORT command myself... cross your
fingers for me ;-)

Thanks again,

Mike
