I didn't use this feature very much under Delphi, because the procedures
were never added at a useful place. I prefer to sort my classes logical
instead of chronological. Maybe I find this feature more useful, when it
tries to keep the source order. I have added it to my todos.

I didn't know that we have a feature wish list. Where is it?
I think, this is a feature, so it should go there.

:)
And there is still room for acceleration. e.g. not storing all the default
values in the .lazarus directory.
