Description muellermi 2014-09-18 20:45:51 UTC
Product Version = NetBeans IDE 8.0.1 (Build 201408251540)
Operating System = Windows 8 version 6.2 running on amd64
Java; VM; Vendor = 1.8.0_20
Runtime = Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM 25.20-b23

this is related to Task #246789 - [801cat] project files not sorted

- Choose options, Appearance, Document Tab
- Mark Same background color...
- Mark Sort opened documents list by project
- Open files of different projects in any order

--> Make the files within the tabs sorted by project.

From #246789
"S. Aubrecht: Documents list is part of the documents tabs.
To have tabs in editor area sorted by project you need to choose 'One row per project' option."

This is not the intention of this enhancement. For example, if you have 10 files open from project a and 5 from project b, you need more than one row for project a. 
If the max. for rows is chosen as 3, than maybe 2 of them shall be used for project a.

And Stanislav's statement does not tackle tabs on the left (or right side). Here we have only one column. This shall be sorted by project (and optionally if the user likes, alphabetically).

Doing so, the user gets a sorted list which is always visible (document list is hidden until the user opens it).
