By default, the functions list is displayed sequentially, that is in the order the functions occur in the source file. Click the Sort check box to re-order the functions list into alphabetical order.

If you select another file tab, in the File Editor pane, and then click Scan for Functions the list is refreshed for the new source file.

Click Jump, or double-click on the required name, to locate a function in your source file. This scrolls the file in the File Editor pane so that the first line of the function is visible towards the top of the pane. Click Close to close the Jump to Function dialog box and place the cursor at the start of the function ready for editing.
