Sort Tabs
To "Sort your Tabs" means to order your favourite Tabs.
To read about what constitutes a Tab, please read this article.
To read about how to sort your Tabs manually, please read this article.
Your pinned Tabs will be excluded from the Sort action. You have to manually reorder them.
To read about what is a pinned Tab, please read this article.
There are 2 ways to automatically Sort your Tabs.
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.
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.
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.
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.
The opposite applies for "Click Count" and "Click Date" which sort descending by default; then ascending. This is due to the fact that if you sort by these fields it's probably due to the fact that you want to find one of your most used or most recently used Tabs.
We have five items. Each item has 5 possible pieces of information: Label, URL, Organization (Org), Click Count, and Click Date.
- The Org value may be missing.
- The Click Count value may be missing.
- The Click Date value may be missing.
Click Date here is shown as an actual date in format YYYY/MM/DD but is actually stored as the result of Date.now(); the example still stands.
