Switching Tabs in Wrong Order || Shortcut - Roundabout

I'm surprised they didn't fix this within the first week or less of OP explaining how to replicate the issue. Cause from each post from what i see here... its gone from CS to CC with the same bug issue.

What's worse is that the person named Jeffrey cared more about OP saying "noobs", then actually caring about the issue at hand. I say this because... half or more of each of Jeffrey post is complaining about OP saying "noobs" once on each of OP post... NOBODY CARES JEFFREY. So if that isn't avoiding the issue, then I don't know what is.

If there is a update download link to fix this issue then please can someone post said link.
If there is no update link cause they haven't fix it yet. Then here is a easy solution for you, so easy that it should take less then a day to fix.

Set up the code / equation so that every time you move the tab around it records / updates its list order, that way once you use ctrl tab or ctrl ~  it will work properly because it'll grab the new info from the updated list. Congrats now you have a solution and you have no excuses. Fix it.

I'm astounded that this simple to reproduce bug still hasn't been squashed after six years.

This is interesting. The tab order is honored when I first open the files. It's also honored if I tile the files, then use Consolidate all to here with a file that changes the original tab order. So when Adobe creates the order, either on open or with Consolidate All, it knows what the proper tab order is. But if I drag a tab manually to a different location (don't know why I would with my workflow, but I'm sure people find reasons to), then Adobe doesn't know about it. It remembers the former tab order, so adopts it. Hence Ctrl-Tab can move to the left, while Ctrl-Shift-Tab might move to the right.

Obviously, under these circumstances, Adobe is keeping us flexible and able to swap kbsc at a moment's notice.<G>

This is so annoying.. I am just surprised at the number of votes o.O. I guess very few people use this key shortcut!

Fix this issue guys, it's a major inconvenience.

It works just as it should if you open documents 1, 2, & 3 and work on only 1, 2, & 3 without closing any of them or without opening any other documents. Soon as one is closed or another is introduced, the tab placement doesnt matter. It goes by the order the document was opened.

And can I just add some feedback?

This is without a doubt the worst age Photoshop has ever been in, all starting with the introduction of your CC implementation. It is so over ridden with novice, amateur features - bodering on crap you get with PowerPoint that people who don't know any better think is amazing - and the usless, mandatory, permanently on, sharing silliness.

Photoshop used to be the flagship of this company, and you know what Adobe, not everything Apple is doing today is worth following. Making inferior desktop software is really not as cool as they make it seem.

Signing up for the forums just to express frustration about this as well.

I have the exact issue as described as Ull Troyo and Sudodeez.

I open files, and tabbing works as expected. But if I drag the tabs around, Cmd+Tab and Cmd+Shift+Tab don't go left-to-right and back, but rather, bounce around the tabs based on the original order in which I opened the files. Super annoying "feature".
