Refactoring - moving variable declaration

Anyone know how to do the refactoring as follows:

<!--
Before refactoring

for (int i = 0; i < sorts.length; i++) {
SortOrder sort = sorts+;

<!--
After refactoring
-->
SortOrder sort = null;
for (int i = 0; i < sorts.length; i++) {
sort = sorts+;

Try using the "Split into declaration and assignment" intention action
by positioning the cursor on the "SortOrder sort = sorts+;" line and
pressing Alt-Enter. After that you should be able to cut & paste the
declaration before the loop and add the null initializer.

I do this quite frequently as well.

It would be really nice if there was an intention action to do this
without the additional cut & paste and add null initializer actions.

btw, if you have the LineMover plugin, it is a better option than the
cut & paste step, although still suboptimal for this case.
