Description of the Issue
Add the ability to sort the tabs/files by date/time.
Describe the solution you'd like.
Add the ability to sort the tabs/files by date/time. This is very useful because if you sort files/tabs by date/time descending then the files you most recently have been working with will be at the top and the leftmost tabs will be the recent ones too. Also, the Windows list is limited to only 40 files... The other sorts are not as useful when you have 200 files/tabs open like by sorting descending date/time - all your relevant/recent files you have been working with are sorted to be on top and within the 40 file limit.
