   User defined Group and Sort option

   Could you allow the user to create their own group? eg. 'Olympics', 'Georgian War', 'Economy', 'Funny News', etc. This could be implemented with a right-click entry: "Customize new group" and another entry to add any page you want into this newly customized group. This will let the user... more

   Could you allow the user to create their own group? eg. 'Olympics', 'Georgian War', 'Economy', 'Funny News', etc. This could be implemented with a right-click entry: "Customize new group" and another entry to add any page you want into this newly customized group. This will let the user manually group the selected pages into whichever group he/she wants. Hope that's not too complicated. Don't want to make the extension too bloated. :-)

   Version 2.0.0 has a "group by source tab (IE8)" feature that functions the same as grouping in IE8. Groups are essentially custom, can easily drag tabs in and out, ungroup, etc.

   The other grouping/sorting options rely on a property of the tab such as hostname. You can freely move & regroup the tabs in these scenarios as well, though the tab will be considered "out of order" in these cases and indicated thusly.

   Currently custom groups don't mix with the property based grouping/sortings. If this is truly desired / still relevant in this new version, make a new idea. :)

   Available now:

   http://bitbucket.org/chrisgalpin/group-sort-tabs/downloads/

   It's a pre-release, not perfectly polished and ready for addons.mozilla.org, but soon. The pre-release supports automatic updates though, and will update itself all the way to the full release. ;)

   Have you tried Tab Kit? Still find Group/Sort tabs useful?

   It's a little discouraging to continue work on this extension. I'd be interested in your input as to what need this extension could still fulfill.

   Is it more compatible and you value that? Maybe its simplicity could have it very multilingual?

   Or we could just engage in vicious capitalistic (as if) competition and steal each others open source ideas! They were both started the same month, after all. Thoughts? ;) I just want the user to win, I'm not attached. ;)

   Camifox

   I suggest you to improve compatibility with camifox theme that looks awesome with ColorfulTabs enabled.
   https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/7527

   There isn't displayed any seperator width.
   Would like to see this 'cause firefox' standard theme is ugly.

   Seems fine with the newer 2.0.0 versions, probably due to adding color, etc. Seems good. :)

   New Tab (Ctrl+T) bug w/ sorting in default/non-reverse order

   With the following settings I have experienced an issue when opening a new tab (i.e., with Ctrl+T).

   [X] Enable (ticked/checked)
   Group tabs by: "Hostname (G)"
   Separator width: "0"
   Sort tabs by: "hostname"
   [_] Reverse direction (unticked/unchecked)

   When the new tab ... more

   With the following settings I have experienced an issue when opening a new tab (i.e., with Ctrl+T).

   [X] Enable (ticked/checked)
   Group tabs by: "Hostname (G)"
   Separator width: "0"
   Sort tabs by: "hostname"
   [_] Reverse direction (unticked/unchecked)

   When the new tab is opened, both the previously selected tab and the new blank tab appear selected and active; however, the previously selected tab takes precedence in that when entering a (presumably different) URL in the address bar that will replace what was on the previously selected tab instead of opening it on the new (blank) tab.

   The only way for me to workaround this is to Check/Tick the Reverse direction option under Tab Sorting, or manually click to a non-selected tab, then click on the new (blank) tab, before entering in the new URL to navigate to.

   I believe an incompatibility with the DownThemAll! extension is what causes this issue.

   I think it's gone now... due to my changes or 3.5 or what I do not know.

   Disable doesn't work + manual sorting?

   When i de-select the enable button in order to disable the sorting function it doesn't seem to work, instead tabs are still automatically sorted after a certain amount of time.

   Could this be because i have over 200 tabs open?

   Could this be because i have over 200 tabs open?

   I'd love to be able to simple manually select when to sort - for example the extension remains disabled permanently and when you select a sort option from the tools menu, it sorts the tabs (after asking you to confirm that you want to sort in case you have lots of tabs and you click automatically).

   How come i can't disable it? Tabs open normally next to the current tab, but after some time they move away from where i opened it, and instead go to their sorted position even though it's supposed to be disabled. Quite annoying because it freezes firefox because of how many tabs i have open and also i have to hunt down where the tabs gone to.

   Am i doing something wrong? I've disabled the extension itself for the time being (although 1 sort was good enough for me).

   Option for Manual sorting please with auto sorting off.

   Need ability to manually move tab where I want

   Option to override the preset sorting order.

   Working with disabled sorting AND with sorting enabled, tabs moved out of the sort order get a little marking with context menu option to return them to their original sorted position if so desired.

   add shortcuts for sort methods

   Tab bar context menu commands for quickly changing the sorting method.

   These same commands could also do quick one-time sorts in the situation that you prefer to leave automatic sorting disabled.

   These commands would have associated and customizable keyboard hotkeys.

   A little icon near the tab bar or some other such GUI element could work also. Give me your input! ;) Let me know what you like the thought of.
