Automatically sorts the VSCode editors when they are opened

Sort open editors fails if an editor is open for a file that's been removed

If you have an editor open with a file that's been removed on disk, sort open editors fails, with this error popping up in the console. I see the "sorting open editors 1/74" notification pop up briefly, and then get removed and no sorting happens.

Editors get pinned if there are pinned editors existing already

• One ore more pinned editors are existing already (and located as the left-most tabs)
• The extension puts a newly opened editor, let's say filename starting with an a, as the very first editor left-most.
• This editor then receives a pin state.

Expected behaviour: Pinned editors should always stay left-most. The extension should organize it's editors exactly next to (right of) the pinned editors.

Thanks for a great extension!

Animated screenshots unintelligible

The animated screenshots are both too fast and too tiny. Please, kindly re-record

• with a much smaller screen resolution, and/or with a much larger font size, so that the text will be much larger (in proportion to the overall screen/dimensions), hence more readable, and
• much slower, so we understand what's going on, and
• ideally with comments in the tabs/files that you're switching to/from, where those comments describe what is happening, and highlight each applicable comment before you actually perform that tab switch/action, and
• ideally recorded as both an animated gif, and as a video, so that people can pause/resume/rewind the video.

Thank you in advance for considering.

Feature requests

Hi Aswin.

This looks promising. :-)
Two request/suggestions which would would make it fit my own needs even more:

• Do an automatic 'Sort Active Editor' after each save, to make sure that when you save a file - either a new file, or an existing file using a new name - the order is adjusted.

• Unsaved files are sorted as starting with the U(ntitled). It would be great if you could also have the option to sort the tabs using the tab title, more in line with how the editors are sorted in the open editors view of the side bar.

So this...

... as opposed to...
