This plugin sort the tabs in Sublime Text 2 using one of these methods:
- Sort Tabs by file name
- Sort Tabs by file type
- Sort Tabs by file path
- Sort Tabs by modification date
- Sort Tabs by last activation
Last sorting command are stored and could be repeated.
Optionally, you can enable an automatic sort when loading or saving a file (see Settings).
You can also use this plugin to close the last tabs after a sort (need docs).
The command is accessible via the Command Palette (Ctrl+Shift+P) under the name Sort Tabs: Menu or from the menu:
View->Sort Tabs Menu
Install via Package Control
To configure this plugin, look at the menu:
Preferences->Package Settings->SortTabs->Settings - Default
If you want to change a settings don't touch this file, but put your settings in your user folder:
Preferences->Package Settings->SortTabs->Settings - User
To add your own sorting method, create a new plugin in your User directory that inherit from sort_tabs.SortTabs or one of it's descendant.
Example (sorting tabs using file extension first and file name after):
import os.path
import sort_tabs
class SortTabsByFileExtCommand(sort_tabs.SortTabsByNameCommand):
'''Sort Tabs by file extension'''
sorting_indexes = (1, 3, 2)
def fill_list_views(self, list_views):
super(SortTabsByFileExtCommand, self).fill_list_views(list_views)
# add file extension to each element of list_views
for item in list_views:
item.append(os.path.splitext(item[2])[1].lower())
list_views is a list containing one list for each tab with the view object and the group number ([[view1, group1], [view2, group2]]).
You can add to these items as many item you need to sort the list_views (here we add the file extension: [[view1, group1, name1, ext1], [view2, group2, name2, ext2]]).
sorting_indexes is a tuple containing the index number of items in the list used to sort list_views (here we sort by group number, file extension, file name).
New commands are automatically added to the menu.
