Currently when you open a file NetBeans places it on a tab at the end of the tab
list. I request that you change this behavior so that the file is placed on a
tab next to the currently selected tab. The reason is best explained by the
following example:

Suppose you have opened the following files on each their respective tabs:
|Apple|Wheel|Airplane|Chair|Pie|
Let us say your currently selected tab is Apple, because you are working on
fruits for the moment.
Then while working on the Apple you want to check if you could reuse some code
from another fruit and save some time, so you choose to open Orange. As a result
you get these tabs shown:
|Apple|Wheel|Airplane|Chair|Pie|Orange|
Then, when looking back and forth between Apple and Orange you need to go all
the way from the beginning of the long tab list to the end; alternatively you
need to move each fruit you open from the end of the list and place it next to
Apple.

I suggest NetBeans is modified to open files next to the current file leaving us
with
|Apple|Orange|Wheel|Airplane|Chair|Pie|
