How it looks like

Settings

Extension Settings

Settings

  • sortEditors.sortEditorsAutomatically: Enable to automatically sort the editors when they are opened.
  • sortEditors.sortEditorsOrder: Controls the sorting order of opened editors.

For example:

"sortEditors.sortEditorsAutomatically": true,
"sortEditors.sortEditorsOrder": "fullpath"

Limitations

Due to limitations in the VScode Extensions API, reordering tabs/editors takes place one by one. That might feels a bit slow.

Issues

Submit the issues if you find any bug or have any suggestion.
