    Default Studio - sort tabs

    Is there a way to sort tabs alphabetically in the studio? I had 100 or so open this morning and very quickly got fed up of manually reordering them.

    If only the windows list would be able to sort and a bit more like a filter, selection on extension...
    Is a code jock so should be easy to do.

    Several years ago I asked the same question and SWM or maybe it was John VanH said that there was absolutely no way to do it. Maybe something has changed????

    Close 99 tabs, problem solved!

    I think Bob is referring to this post in his reply. I believe this is still the case.

    I'll suffer for my art then, seems like it wouldn't be difficult but googling 'sort tabs' gets hits in excel and a dozen other applications so I guess it's a common issue ....

    Maybe not possible to sort them on the fly.

    but there are always different ways of achieving the final result.

    . Memorize the files opened
    . Sort the files by name
    . Close all tabs
    . Reopen all of them using the previous sorted array

    Its not perfect, but better than nothing.

    To avoid losing changes not saved, studio should raise a dialog explaining that all files would have to be closed and reopened in order to be sorted, and ask the user to confirm if all files should be saved or not before proceeding.

    Even better might be to ask individually.

    100 tabs open? When I get up to about 20, it's time to close a bunch. However, my little brain is probably more limited than you guys.

    Close Studio

    Read the myname_studio.dsk file in a struct

    Code:
    [Window0]
    Filename=F:\Data\MyProject\AppSrc\My_View.vw
    ViewType=1
    Top=22
    Left=2
    Bottom=1605
    Right=3173
    CursorLine=0
    CursorColumn=0
    TabIndex=0
    TabGroup=0
    Sort the struct and write it out again.


    Start the studio
