Operations not sorted in the drop list of the web service endpoint

Question

Hello,
Since the beginning of oc4j standalone till the last release 10.1.3.5.0, the operations in the drop list of the web service endpoint are not alphabetically sorted,
they are in a random order.
If a web service contains a lot of operations, it's always difficult to find one operation in the list.
How can this list be sorted ?
I don't see any sort option in the web service properties (in Jdevelopper) or in the deployment descriptor (in Jdevlopper).
Best regards
Laurent

You are correct...the above code is useful only when debugging in Visual Studio.  You should have better luck with either of the following two options:
Option 1: Retrieve the id from the response of SaveChanges()
sc.AddToSampleList(new ServiceReference.SampleListItem { Title= "Hello World" });
System.Data.Services.Client.ChangeOperationResponse response = sc.SaveChanges().FirstOrDefault() as System.Data.Services.Client.ChangeOperationResponse;
int id = ((ServiceReference.SampleListItem)((System.Data.Services.Client.EntityDescriptor)response.Descriptor).Entity).Id;
Option 2: Create the list item and access its properties after calling SaveChanges()
ServiceReference.SampleListItem li = new ServiceReference.SampleListItem { Title= "Hello World" };
sc.AddToSampleList(li);
sc.SaveChanges();
int id = li.Id;
