Bug 1163555 implemented the ability to activate different folder views at once.
Right now, the newly activated views are always added in first position, the current sorting order is not remembered, and the user is unable to reorder them as needed.

We should improve this feature by implementing:

  • An initial default sorting order, always respected if the user doesn't modify it.
  • Ability to reorder the various modes (Maybe avoid drag&drop and have a simple right click > move up/down?).
  • Save the current order in the JSON file.
Summary: Implement sorting and saving of the folder views → Implement sorting and saving of the folder views order

Let's close this one as it's not worth implementing this feature int eh current XUL tree.
We will inherit this feature once we transition to the new listbox widget, and once bug 1724842 is complete.
