Sorting:
In Managed Agent Explorer the resources, properties and operations can be sorted alphabetically or left unordered. The figure (Fig. 1) below shows a managed resource with its properties and operations unordered. The sort button appears on the right top of the Resource Topology section (the first button from the left). Clicking on the sort button sorts the properties, operations and topics (if any).
Fig. 1
After clicking the sort button, the icon of the button changes, and the content of the viewer will be sorted (shown in Fig. 2). If this same button is pressed again, the content will be unordered and the icon will become sort icon as before.

Filtering:
Filtering capability in the Managed Agent Explorer is provided as an extension point with the plugin. Filtering functionality for a particular type of managed resource is provided by extending this extension point and implementing the org.eclipse.tptp.monitoring.managedagent.ui.explorer.IFilterProvider interface. At runtime all the extension points are picked up and the filter providers are added dynamically. The UI and filtering logic changes depending upon the type of managed resource being viewed currently.
