To sort alphabetically is not difficult.

By FreeRIDE::FRBrowser::SourceBrowser#__append_tree, items are added.
Please modify this method. This is the example which sorts 
Module alphabetically. 

-- Orginal 
tree.each_module do |mod|
  __append_tree(mod, new_node)
end

-- Modified
tree.module_list.sort{|x,y| x.name <=> y.name}.each do |mod|
  __append_tree(mod, new_node)
end

I also want to move the caret.
To tell the truth, I am not familiar with FOX.
And, I don't know how to scroll the bar.

Ths simple syntax tree generated by the parser holds
the information about where method/class/module are
defined. So, it is possible to do it.

This is also because I am not accustomed to FOX.
Sorry.

I hope that the interface of the source browser 
is determined in this ML. But, If possible, 
I want to change the interface by options.
