Introduction

To "Sort your Tabs" means to order your favourite Tabs.

To read about what constitutes a Tab, please read this article.

Actions

There are 2 ways to Sort your Tabs.

Settings page

In the Settings page, you'll find one which enables you to choose how you'd like the Tabs to be sorted.

Please refer to the wiki page for this setting for further info.

Salesforce

Context Menu

When you're on a Salesforce Setup page, right-click on any of your Tabs then move your mouse to Again, Why Salesforce and click Sort Tabs in the sub-menu; move again your mouse to the option you'd like your Tabs to be sorted by.

Warning

The Context Menu sorting was created to be a one-off sort. This means that the Tabs won't stay sorted if you add a new Tab into the mix.

You may use both the persistent sorting from the Settings and sort your Tabs with the Context Menu to temporarily sort them by another field and then restore the original sorting option when you navigate to another page.

Tip

If your Tabs are not sorted or if they're sorted by another field (i.e., they're sorted by Label and now you want to sort them by URL), they'll be sorted ascending by default.

If you'd rather have them sorted descending, simply follow the same steps as above and click on the same sorting field.

Example

We have five items.
Each item has three possible pieces of information: Label, URL, and Organization (Org).
The Org value may also be missing.

The Items

  • A → Label: Gamma, URL: d.com, Org: mycustomorg3
  • B → Label: Alpha, URL: b.com, Org: mycustomorg5
  • C → Label: Epsilon, URL: e.com, Org: (none)
  • D → Label: Beta, URL: a.com, Org: mycustomorg2
  • E → Label: Delta, URL: c.com, Org: mycustomorg4

Sorting Results

Sort By Ascending Order Descending Order
Label B (Alpha) → D (Beta) → E (Delta) → C (Epsilon) → A (Gamma) A (Gamma) → C (Epsilon) → E (Delta) → D (Beta) → B (Alpha)
URL D (a.com) → B (b.com) → E (c.com) → A (d.com) → C (e.com) C (e.com) → A (d.com) → E (c.com) → B (b.com) → D (a.com)
Org C (none) → D (mycustomorg2) → A (mycustomorg3) → E (mycustomorg4) → B (mycustomorg5) B (mycustomorg5) → E (mycustomorg4) → A (mycustomorg3) → D (mycustomorg2) → C (none)
