Not quite working on VSCodium 1.82.0

[scar45]

Came across this awesome extension when searching for a means to view/switch editors more efficiently, however I can't seem to get it working. As stated in the title, I am on VSCodium 1.82.0, with the extension enabled, and all JSON settings defined:

"automaticEditorSorter.enabled": true,
"automaticEditorSorter.order": "asc",
"automaticEditorSorter.rule": "name,absolute"

I am pretty sure this is the list it should be sorting, but it does not, whether enabled or disabled (I've tested with more open files than in this image):

Hopefully I'm not missing something obvious...I'd really love to use this extension. Let me know if there's any other info I can provide. Thanks!

Ah! It's only for tabs. I don't use that list...

Thanks for your reply! What's funny is that I initially thought it was for tabs, but when I enabled it and set the sort order, the tab order was unaffected. I then thought I was misunderstanding, because I noticed the "Open Editors" panel list (the screenie above), and thought that's what the extension was referring to instead.

Unfortunately in either case, it still seems to have no effect for me. I'm not sure why! Happy to troubleshoot if you're able, however your response would also lead me to believe that it's working fine for you? I also imagine you're on the latest build of (VS)Code(-OSS)/VSCodium.

It's working fine on the latest version.

Your editors seem fully opened so it's not a issue with the preview editors FAQ

Have you tried with only that extension activated, maybe there is conflict with another extension.

I could add some debug logs (with a config flag) to try to see what's going on.

I've just tried it again with a clean config, and then installed only your extension, but again can't quite see any difference. I opened a random project, then started opening files from different directories in random order. The tabs still seemed to stay in the same spot, whether toggling the extension, or even restarting the IDE:

Happy to try to grab logs from a test/debug version, again on a clean config.

I do appreciate your help in troubleshooting here too, thanks. It seems like such a useful extension.

I can confirm the issue persists with Automatic Editor Sorter v0.1.0 on VSCodium 1.82.2.

I've found an issue when renaming a preview editor. The editor doesn't get sorted and then since the list isn't in order anymore, everything goes to hell.

Does your issue due to that use case?
