Visual Studio Code - Can "OPEN EDITORS" panel be sorted?
Sometimes when I'm working I end up with several open tabs. My problem is that every time I need to switch to another file I need to constantly scroll until I find the desired file (which is not always easy to find).
For example, I may have over 30 open files, but I'm currently working only on 3 - 5 on which I constantly switch.
Those files should be kept together at top (sorted by last used/saved) instead on the date they were first opened.
Top tabs aren't sorted either.
Android Studio does a better job on this, so I thought Visual Studio Code may have a preference for it.
Is there a property to change this? I couldn't find a hint on settings.
Update 2020-12-16
With release v1.52.0 being shipped you can sort open editors. From the release notes:
There is a new setting
explorer.openEditors.sortOrderto control the sort order in the OPEN EDITORS list.The values are:
editorOrder- Editors are listed in the same order as editor tabs are shown (default).alphabetical- Editors are listed in alphabetical order inside each editor group.
Update 2020-11-16
It seems this will be possible with the next November release v1.52.0 (Reference). This release is expected to be shipped early December 2020.
