<extension point=

"org.eclipse.search.searchResultSorters"

>

<sorter id=

"org.eclipse.search.internal.ui.FileNameSorter"

pageId=

"*"

label=

"%FileNameSorter.label"

tooltip=

"%FilenNameSorter.tooltip"

icon=

"icons/full/ecl16/search_sort.gif"

class=

"org.eclipse.search.internal.ui.FileNameSorter"

</sorter>

</extension>

The contributed class must implement org.eclipse.jface.viewers.ViewerSorter

The search infrastructure provides a sorter that sorts the matches by the resource name.
