Description Missing name Missing name CLA 2007-05-09 09:58:52 EDT 
When opening a lot of files in the editor it's really annoying to switch to
hidden tabs. The files in the Show List are presented in a strange random order.  

My proposal is to introduce a row layout for tabs, with a configurable max number of rows and able the hold the correct order of the opened files.
If max row is reached some horizontal scroll buttons could be used.

To be more clear a I attach a little screenshot taken from JBuilder that implements a similar solution.
