[cdt-dev] Changing default problem view

[subs <dmsubs@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

I tried asking this on eclipse.platform, but got no response, so I thought I'd 
try here.

By default, the ProblemView groups errors/warnings by severity. Many of my users 
find this unintuitive and would like no grouping, thus allowing them to see all 
errors/warnings grouped by file. The menu on the ProblemView lets them change 
this, but I would like to change the default to be no grouping.

Is there a way to change the default? I cannot see a preference or any other 
setting. However, after changing the setting I see this in 
<workspace>/.metadata/.plugins/org.eclipse.ui.ide

<snip..>
    <section name="org.eclipse.ui.views.problem">
        <section name="sorter">
            <item value="" key="categoryField"/>
        </section>
    </section>


Thanks,
