[Tab Order] By Namespace

I am using Vertical tabs and I would like it if my tabs were ordered by namespace or directory path, so that they are more logically grouped together. And if multiple have the same namespace or directory, then it should sort them alphabetically.

I think this would be very helpful in speed of finding the tab I am looking for.

Thanks :)

I'm not sure which kind of “tab groups” you mean. You can split the tabs in different windows, if the files have same name, it will show the paths. Click “Select Opened File” in Solution Explorer will locate the file.

It's better if you can clarify the “tab groups” feature, I will help to review and submit a new feature request if needed.

For sorting tabs, you can sort the tabs alphabetically in File | Settings | Editor | General | Editor Tabs.

Ok here is an example. I have these different classes that all start with Quest. By default the tabs on the right open by the order they are opened. like so:

With these settings:

 

If I change them to sort alphabetically 

it will look like this:

 

But I do not want this. I want them to sort alphabetically by the folder structure, like the folder view:

(or by namespace of the classes).

 

I hope this makes sense.

I submitted a new feature request for it.

I also noticed some plugins on Marketplace already provide similar functionality. You may want to have a check.
