This is exactly the tool I was after, however unlike other sorting extensions, this one has a buggy behaviour with the Tree Style Tab extension (moving between sorted tabs will sometimes scroll to the top of my sidebar, though this behaviour stopped after a few minutes and I'm not sure why). I would love to help narrow down the issue, because no other extensions offer this feature.

I would also love if there were more sorting options, like sorting by URL, domain, and last accessed. Other extensions offer these features, so I feel these additions would really improve this extension. Specifically, I would love to sort tabs by filename, as the reason I downloaded this extension was to sort 40 PDFs I opened without messing up my other tabs. The PDFs have different tab titles from their filenames.

Do you have a GitHub page?

Thank you very much for your review and for the detailed feedback! It's great to know the extension fits what you were looking for.

I hadn't planned to add multiple sorting options initially, since I wanted to keep things lightweight and focused on my own use case. That said, you make a great point - sorting by URL, domain, last accessed time, or filename would be genuinely useful additions, so I'll definitely consider including those in a future update.

I haven't used Tree Style Tab before, so I'm not familiar with how it might interact with my extension. Could you describe what happens in more detail please - for example, what steps trigger the scrolling issue and whether it still occurs after restarting Firefox?

I don't have a GitHub page at the moment, but I may set one up soon.

Thanks again for the kind words - I really appreciate the 4★ rating!
