Details

I've been kicking this around in my head for a while, and talking to Chris tonight, he also thought it was something we should do. We can currently rearrange tabs manually by dragging on the tab bar. We can also rearrange bookmarks manually and, to a certain extent, via AppleScript. It might be nice if we could provide the ability to rearrange tabs via AppleScript, too. Chris thought this might be easy to do once we got bug 502407 working.

murph, peeja: how much gain would this be for the amount of pain it might cause?
(Being that move is notoriously fickle, doing exactly what you tell it to do, except that you thought you were telling it to do something else entirely.) I'm also having trouble coming up with a use-case that makes sense; it's a cool feature, but I can't figure out why anyone would use it? Open a bunch of URLs and re-arrange their tabs? Why not open them in the order you want to begin with? Et cetera.

We talked about this later on irc, and Chris came up with something that convinced me there was a good use-case, but I can't recall now. Maybe something about grouping disparate tabs from the same site?

Yeah, I'm pretty sure that was it. You could write a script to sort tabs by URL, for instance, with support for this. The English Language Monster is going to be a big obstacle here, I think :-p
Confirming per Smokey on IRC.
