I really feel that this one could be a very useful update, if this is possible 
to add.
This would be for the "Documents Only" setting in the Sidebars context menu, 
the other two views available “Show Path” and “Show Tree” would not be able to 
use this.

Currently the "Sidebar - Documents" tab appears to use alphabetical order to 
sort the list of currently opened documents.
(Unfortunately it also uses a common Linux based sorting approach where it puts 
capital letters above lower case letters which I do not understand personally)
`Sorting Example:`
01 - apple.txt
Apple.txt
Zebra.txt
apple.txt
zebra.txt

If possible I am suggesting to add a setting to the context menu to allow the 
sort method to be changed.
Depending on how many sorting options developer decides to add, might have to 
be a flyout.

Sort:
-Alphabetically    -----default method currently used by Geany
-Alphabetically (Not Case Sensitive)
-Date
-Based On Tab Order

The main one I am interested in personally is the "Based On Tab Order" sort 
method.
I would like my Sidebar - Documents to follow the same order as how they are 
opened from left to right in "Editor tabs bar"
It is strange to have one that sorts alphabetically and the other does not.
Would really like the "Documents" sidebar tab to mimic the Editor tabs, like it 
is a "Vertical Tab" sidebar.
Also looks strange when using keybindings to navigate through tabs, because the 
cursor bounces around between items rather then next/previous items in the list.
I have read/seen in the manual that this is mentioned, so it is known about.
Was wondering if there are any developers that would be interested in updating 
this, if possible.
Hopefully someone will consider this.

Thank You
