Description

It would be handy to have a sort method on a Map or Property that would sort by the name/key since this is something that is commonly done. A possible implementation for a Property class might look like this:

Properties.metaClass.sort = {
new TreeMap(delegate)
}

Example usage would be:

System.properties.sort()
