Documents List - swaps file
-
“Notepad++ requires the ability to swap open tabs directly within the ‘Documents List’ window. Currently, tabs can only be opened.”

You are right, the Document List doesn’t have a way to change the order of tabs. But all you have to do is drag the tab title in the tab bar, and you can move it wherever you want… so Notepad++ can accomplish your goal, just not in your preferred interface.
That said, this feature was officially requested last year, so you could go put your comments there, in a place where the developer will see them. (As explained in our FAQ, this Community Forum is not the feature-request/bug-report tracker.)
