That's not the behavior I remember (in BBEdit 9), and I can't find the
preference for it either. So I just did an experiment...

I had a project window that had been sitting untouched in my dock for about
a week, with no unsaved files in it. I brought it up to the desktop; the
sidebar was showing and I gave it focus. When I started using the back and
forward buttons on my Logitech mouse, focus just moved up and down through
the list items in a linear way. (The buttons are defined in the Logitech
control panel as typing command-option-control [left or right] arrow. I may
have chained those to other commands in BBEdit but if so I can't find them.)

Then I made trivial changes to a few documents that were at random
positions in the file list, and saved them. Then when I used the same mouse
buttons, focus behaved differently: it jumped up or down in a non-linear
way, going only to the files I had recently changed and saved, skipping all
the others no matter how many times I clicked the mouse buttons. Seemed
like useful behavior, similar to what Rutger was asking for.

I wish I could remember where I set this behavior, if I did.​
