Thanks for the suggestion! We’ve implemented an optional setting to sort open documents alphabetically in the Navigation tree.

You’ll find it under **Options → User Interface → Navigation → Appearance → Sort documents alphabetically** once the update is released. While it’s enabled, Move Up and Move Down are disabled for documents. Turning it off restores your previous manual order, and the Application document stays last.

This has been implemented in Royal TS V26 Beta, stay tuned for the next release…

Yes, 7.4 is the current version. V26 is the next major version as we switch to year based versions. I hope this makes sense.
