This plugin sort the tabs in Sublime Text 2 using one of these methods:
Creating new sorting method is (relatively) easy.
It’s available here: https://github.com/bizoo/SortTabs
Don’t know now if it worth to be added to Package Control. Let me know what do you think.
There are dozens and dozens of plugins I don’t use on Package Control, but I would use this one. Well done. I think you should add it.
Thanks, I will ask to add it to Package Control.
If someone has proposition for new sorting methods, feel free to ask.

I searched package control for this plugin and it is not currently listed. Any idea when it will be listed? This would be helpful for me.

ctrl+shift+p => install package => sortTabs
Done

Awesome thanks. first time using package control so i didnt know/see that i could add repo.
Create a file \Sublime Text 2\Packages\User\Main.sublime-menu containing:
[code]
{
“id”: “view”,
“children”:
{ "id": "side_bar" },
{ "command": "sort_tabs_menu" }
]
}
][/code]
Maybe I will add it later.
Thanks for the addon. It has a pretty annoying bug however; it steals focus from the “GoTo Anything” dialog when it’s previewing files. I’ll disable it for now, hoping to see this fixed.
I suppose you have “sort_on_load_save” enabled ?
I couldn’t reproduce this issue on my system (startup, version: 2199 windows x64 channel: nightly) using the last version of SortTabs that I pushed right now.
Please upgrade SortTabs to the last version (if not already done automaticaly by Package Control) and try it again.
Thanks, will try.
For the record, it only occurs randomly. So open the “GoTo” dialog and just press down a few times when searching - it won’t necessarily happen on the first result.
And yes, I have sort_on_load_save enabled.
How do I sort by descending order (reverse order)? Also, what’s the difference between sort by modified date and sort by last activation? They both seem to do the same thing… a newest file gets moved to the first tab position.
PS: Did I setup my settings correctly? I was just getting how to get it working to sort by modified date.
