<p dir="auto">While the current way of grouping symbols under various categories<br>
like "Functions", "Structures", "Macros" etc. may be useful in some<br>
situations, it doesn't allow true sorting by name or sorting by line<br>
number because this sorting is only valid within the group and not<br>
globally which makes it sometimes hard to find some symbol.</p>
<p dir="auto">This patch adds the option to switch between two views of the symbol tree<br>
using the context menu:</p>
<ul dir="auto">
<li>Categorized - the original view used by Geany</li>
<li>Uncategorized - view with a single root element "Symbols" in which<br>
all symbols are rooted and all of them either sorted by line number<br>
or alphabetically</li>
</ul>

<p dir="auto">The core of the implementation is rather simple - there's always the<br>
"Symbols" root present at position 0 in tv_iters and when categorized<br>
view is selected, this root is used for all the tags. (We still need<br>
to keep the category roots in this situation to copy the icons for<br>
the tags from them but they are always empty and hidden).</p>
<p dir="auto">The rest is some UI stuff for creating entries in the context menu, I also<br>
added a config preference so this settings is remembered across Geany<br>
re-launches. I made this option global for all open files because<br>
I would find it annoying to apply this setting manually for every open<br>
file. So the code also checks whether the view type changed for the<br>
given file when switching tabs and re-creates the tree with the new<br>
setting.</p>
