Here's my best practice for organizing obj-c classes; particularly, the #pragma mark directives. They are quite useful for calling up the "Show Document Items" keyboard shortcut and knowing generally where to look for a method. That shortcut is mapped to ctrl-6 by default, but I have it remapped to ctrl-d for convenience.

• Alphabetized global #imports
• #import interface
• Alphabetized local #imports
• Class extension
• Implementation
  • Accessor methods
  • Parent methods
  • Public methods
  • Private methods
  • Delegate methods

For the delegate methods, I use their formal name so option-clicking them pulls up their documentation.

Do you have a better or different way? Let me know!

Interesting Randy, I think I'm going to adopt that practice since it's even more explicit. Thanks for the feedback. ## Scott Gose gose@me.com
