Description
Description of the Issue
I use Doc Switcher (aka Document List Panel) nearly all the time as a way to quickly bring a doc tab to focus. I also often move doc tabs around; I tend to actively work with tabs that are right-most whereas left-most tabs are things pending, temporarily sidelined, or reference docs. This re-ordering of tabs does not also re-order the Doc Switcher doc names. This makes Doc Switcher much less useful as, without re-ordering anything, the Doc Switcher order matches the tab order - top Doc Switcher file is left-most tab, bottom file is right-most tab. If these could kept in sync the Doc Switcher would be even more useful. Perhaps it could be an option somewhere.
Steps to Reproduce the Issue
- Open 2 or more files.
- Make the Doc Switcher panel appear: Settings > Preferences > General > Document List Panel > Show [X]
- Move one of the files' tabs to a new position. Notice that the Doc Switcher order is unchanged.
Desired Behavior
Ideally the Doc Switcher order would mirror the visible tab order, regardless of where one moves a doc's tab.
Actual Behavior
Doc Switcher order does not change in response to moving doc tabs around.
Here's a capture before moving tabs around:

And here's one after switching around the two tabs:

Notice the Doc Switcher order remains the same. If it could change in response to tab moves life would improve markedly here.
Thanks for reading and for Notepad++ - it rocks.
