Description ilia 2013-09-25 08:45:16 UTC 
All view containing tabs doesn't allow reordering inside them (output, search, etc)
It would be great to be able to reorder inner tabs.
Comment 1 Stanislav Aubrecht 2013-09-25 08:48:07 UTC 
The inner tabs in Output, Search and similar windows display only temporary content so what's the reason to reorder them?
Comment 2 Vladimir Voskresensky 2013-09-25 09:56:19 UTC 
One reason is described in issue #231705: On Unix systems terminals have multi tabs and users reorder them, so the request to have the same for NB's Terminal.
I.e. user can create terminals for different hosts at different time and then would like to order by hosts
Comment 3 Stanislav Aubrecht 2013-09-25 10:22:23 UTC 
Terminal window uses JTabbedPane with close button. JTabbedPane doesn't support tab reordering and there are no plans to implement such a custom JTabbedPane in the NetBeans platform.
