Sort tabs by various criteria

Features & Capabilities

Sort Tabs Advanced is a powerful web extension designed to help users organize their browser tabs efficiently. It allows sorting tabs based on multiple criteria including URL, domain, title, and last time of access. Particularly useful for Firefox Quantum users, it addresses the lack of domain sorting capabilities, making tab management smoother.

By sorting tabs according to recent access, users can prioritize frequently used tabs by pushing them to the top, while less used tabs remain accessible but out of the way. The extension continuously evolves with plans to improve its user interface, icon design, and overall performance, offering a better browsing experience.

User Reviews

Sort tabs advanced is generally praised for speed and ease of use. Users like that it matches its promises and works well, even with many tabs, while requiring minimal permissions. Common drawbacks include private-browsing incompatibility, settings not persisting after restart, and unreliable auto-sort. Users also request more customization like custom sorting, sorting by container, and sorting by URL, plus some UI enhancements.
Pros
  • Easy to use and intuitive
  • Does what it says and works well
  • Fast performance, especially with large numbers of tabs
  • Lightweight, minimal permissions required
Cons
  • Does not work in Private Browsing / Private Windows
  • Settings and options do not persist after browser closure
  • Automatic sorting is not always reliable/unpredictable
  • Lacks advanced sorting options (custom sort, sorting by container, sorting by URL)

This is a neat little extension which sadly has developed an incompatibility with Firefox groups. Dev I appreciate you acknowledging that issue with groups. I hope you can fix it ASAP. In the meantime, think about simplifying the drop down menu; instead of two entries for alphabetical/URL/domain (ascending / descending), just make it a toggle that switches between the two. I believe in you! Edit: it looks like you already pushed a fix for the tabs LOL my bad. Thanks Dev, but keep in mind my suggestion for the sorting options :D

this extension just broke all my tab groups and messed up everything.

"Sort automatically" doesn't work, probably because extension needs to be updated (Firefox 149)
