The Blueprint Header View converts Unreal Engine Blueprint Classes and Blueprint Structs to C++ code.
The Blueprint Header View is similar to Blueprint Nativization.
During the conversion process, the Blueprint Header View creates C++-style declarations for the following elements of your Blueprint:

The Sort Method provides options to sort the display of your Blueprint Classes and Properties in the C++ Header Preview window. Select from the following Sort Method values:

| Sort By Access Specifier | Properties are grouped together by Access Specifiers in order of visibility(public, protected, private.) |
| Sort For Optimal Padding | Properties are sorted to minimize padding in the compiled class layout. |
