It would be nice, if the dialog “Document” (obtained by Shift+F4 or Windows -> Documents…) allowed to change the order of documents in editor pane (e.g. by adding buttons Up and Down) and so organize them in logic group. Nowadays we have to change the order by catching the window in the editor pane and move it to the left or right to its new position. However when there are more opened documents, it should be done in several phases and it is cumbersome.
patch is welcome
*** Bug 222666 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***
Suggestion from duplicated issue: "I suggest in the dialog Window/Documents (Shift F4), there should be tree view with tabgroups and tabs as nodes. There should be First, Up Down and Last buttons to move the selection in it's group. Drag and Drop in this tree would be easier than in the tab headers."
