No. This needs a completely rewriting of the code.

Maybe (this only a thought of me now) I will enable a feature to search for
the source file in a specified directory and all its subdirs. But as I said,
this is only a thought.

Before I mad the files in the project in alphabetical order, I also thought
about this problem, but I found no example for which this is needed. I also
thought, that the order of the object files when linking is not relevant
(I'm correct ??). Can you give me a small example for a project (that means
more than one object file) where the order is significant?

Oh yes, I know an example, but only if you include in your project some
libraries, in this case the order of these libraries is relevant.

And now somw remarks the the GPF's. If you get a GPF, this has nothing to do
the order of some object files when linking. One reason may be, that the GPF
comes from the linker or from RHIDE.

Have you tried to create a makefile from your project (Options|Write makefile)
and than 'make -f project.mak' (project is here the name of your project file
without the suffix). Please do this and if you get also a GPF, redirect
stderr to file when you do the above and post its contents here.
