Description:
When forwarding to SQL CREATE the tables etc. are exported in order of creation date and not in alphabetical order. Since I have to fix up some tables manually after export, alphabetical order would be helpful.

How to repeat:
File-> Export-> Forward Engineer SQL Create script

Suggested fix:
Output objects of the same type alphabetically.

Many thanks for writing a feature request. I am pretty sure this is a duplicate. I remind me that I saw similar complains a one or two months ago. Anyway, I can't find the other bug report again.

Verified as described. Tables aren't in alphabetic order.

For development: Maybe a button where you can choose how you want to display the identifiers would be a nice feature.

Many thanks for writing a feature request. We won't change this behaviour because we need the freedom to re-order objectes depending on their dependencies so that you always will be able to take the sql file as it is and put it into your mysql instance.
