Created attachment 156600 [details] screenshot of unsorted list If more than one edit window is displayed, each has a pull down list of files open in that window. To select from *all* of the open files, there is a nice feature with control-tab that displays all open files. However, the list is not globally sorted. Instead, it looks like it might a concatenated list of each window's sorted list. Attached is a screenshot of the ide with the unsorted list popped up. Please sort.

Reassigned for further evaluation.
Ctrl-Tab is in LRU order please use Shift-F4 for sorted list (you can search there by typing directly).
Some minor notes: Bug #1: ctrl-tab is not listed in shortcuts, even though it works for me. If it was, I would think it would be listed under the same name as the fly-over for that pull-down "Show opened documents list". I probably stumbled on it because other IDEs use ctrl-tab. Bug #2: Shift-F4 is indeed listed for "Documents..." but neither this nor "Show opened documents list" say anything about LRU or sorted. I did find an article on the "Documents Dialog Box", which was helpful. I also found "Options Window: Appearance: Document Tabs" which has an option to "Sort opened documents list by project". It does not say that if unchecked, the list is LRU. I'm only trying to make the details of the UI a bit more discoverable.
