#4143 Random Tab Order (it keeps changing on it's own)
On Windows 11 and "Eclipse Adoptium\jre-21.0.4.7-hotspot\bin\javaW.exe" and jedit 5.7.0, the tab order keeps changing.
Normally I don't have many tabs open so it hasn't been much of an issue but as I get more open it is driving me crazy as I have to constantly look for the tab that was "there" last last time. The order seems to change as dialogs and windows are opened and closed (perhaps other times, not sure).
Are you talking about the BufferTabs plugin? jEdit has no tabs.
To sort the buffer sets (which are used by BufferTabs) global options - view - sort buffer switcher.
Sorry I didn't realise it was a plugin, its hard to imagine an editor without natively supporting tabs. I would have installed it many yonks ago.
I already have the "sort buffer switcher" ticked. I'm also thinking that the sorting issue doesn't happen until there is more than a single line of tabs. In any case I don't want them sorted, I want them in the order I put them, for example when I move a tab to the front (first col, 1st row), I don't expect it to disappear into the middle somewhere.
