New reafctoring idea: move method/field up/down

Try the Rearranger plugin. The Live Rearranger function would do what you
want.

I move methods and fields up and down in class declarations in numerous

occasions. I think it could be very comfortable if such a thing was added to
IDEA's refactoring toolkit ..

A good idea, I would such a feature from time to time. I would also use a related feature that would rearrange getters and setters to appear in the same order than the order of the fields.

There is another plugin named MoveElement that maps alt-pageup/pagedown to move an entire function or other class element. i used it very often before i used rearranger.

Thank you, folks, I'll try them.

Bingo !!! :)
