In the opened files outline, it's possible to re-order files using drag and drop. After having done so, ctrl+tab will switch to opened files using the previous order, not the new (visible) order.

This happens with brackets sprint 18, MacOSX.

@peterflynn can correct me, but I'm pretty sure those next/prev doc commands use the most-recently-used list and not the visible order of the files in the working set. I think the visible order is more intuitive. Maybe we can reconsider.

Yes. This is the same order used by other editors such as Sublime and Eclipse (although I don't recall what Espresso, which has a "working set"-style UI like Brackets, does). It seems like reasonable default behavior, though I wouldn't object to making it configurable via preferences. We could also clarify by adding "MRU" to the menu item labels.

But in the meantime, my brackets-editor-nav extension adds shortcuts that work exactly as requested here -- switching in UI list order. @warpdesign, please give it a try!

Reviewed - move to backlog to make this a preference.

Closing this one since there is a good extension for it provided by@peterflynn. It seems it will take a while before we would get to this (or preferences in general).
