Just wanted to know if it is possible in Eclipse to sort Maven dependencies by alphabetical order?
It's bothering me to have a list of 200 jars not ordered... :(

Right-click the project, then select "Properties", then "Java Build Path". The tabs "Projects" and "Libraries" list what the project depends on. Note that the "Order and Export" tab alllows you to have indirect dependencies.
The order of dependencies does matter because of how Maven resolves transitive dependencies, starting with version 2.0.
Finally it is possible with Eclipse Photon now.
Just tick the checkbox Sort library entries alphabetically in Package Explorer under Preferences → Java → Appearance
See also here under 'Sort library entries alphabetically in Package Explorer'.
Unfortunately theres a bug, at least for me, that the source folders are also reordered, see here.

I guess you refer to the m2eclipse plugin. You have these options:
The order in the navigator is the classpath order. You can sort the dependencies in the POM to get a better list. Of course, there is a problem with transient dependencies.
You can open the POM file in the POM editor and examine the dependencies in the tab "Dependency Hierarchy"
You can type part of the name of a dependency to locate it when the tree item "Maven Dependencies" is open.
