How do I change the "Currently Open Documents" sort order?

[pr10n]

I can't for the life of me figure out how to get the "Currently Open
Documents" to behave like the old "Documents Drawer" in respect to
navigation ordering.

I'm trying to duplicate the following preference from 9.x:

Documents & Drawer
Next Document and Previous Document navigate in:
[x] Display order
[ ] History order

The current navigation is driving me buggy. My line of sight is
playing ping pong trying to follow the highlighted document.

Am I missing something?
If this has been publicly addressed already could you point me in the
right direction. I looked before posting but couldn't find anything.

On a separate note isn't the word "Currently" somewhat superfluous?
Couldn't "Open Documents" suffice?

That should have been migrated, but apparently was not. Try:

defaults write com.barebones.bbedit SurfNextPreviousInDrawerOrder -bool YES

Someday I'll look back on all this and laugh... until they sedate me.

I'm not at all surprised. I have preferences that have been migrated
over or manually reinserted stemming back to version 6.

It works wonderfully now. Thank you very much.

Hmm... I've just noticed that the navigation ordering can get a little
mixed up if there are multiple files of the same name.

This appeared to have no effect on my copy 10.0.1. My "Currently Open
Documents" still behaves schizophrenically when reordered and using
key commands for previous and next document.

In essence, I can not reorder documents once open. Is there any other
cure?

Thanks to those above for providing the solution for BBedit.

For those using TextWrangler like myself, I was able to correct it using the command:

defaults write com.barebones.textwrangler SurfNextPreviousInDrawerOrder -bool YES 

(note the substitution of "textwrangler" in place of "bbedit"). This appears to have solved the issue.

I also have this issue :(

BBedit version 10.5.3 (3280)
I have tried the  following setting to be able to sort the files:

              defaults write com.barebones.bbedit SurfNextPreviousInDrawerOrder -bool YES

but no luck.

Anyone been able to get this working ?

How do I execute this command? Is there something in TextWrangler to do that or is it just on the terminal?

I've opened a new terminal window, without TW running, and entered that line with no effect.

Command should be run in the command line. I believe restarting the program is necessary. It took a while before it took effect for me, but it worked eventually.

To avoid other people's frustration, who found this thread and wonder why it just doesn't work:

the correct user default command that works for current TextWrangler (version 5.5.2 (397016), Mac App Store build) is:

defaults write com.barebones.textwrangler SurfNextPreviousInDisplayOrder -bool YES

insetead of:

defaults write com.barebones.textwrangler SurfNextPreviousInDrawerOrder -bool YES

See the difference?

Display vs. Drawer
