[GNC] Tabs Behaviors in GNC4.1

[David Carlson]

I need to ask if this change in sorting order also applies to the default
tabs at the top configuration.

Also, is it still possible to manually move tabs around with the mouse or
judicious use of arrow keys to put them in your preferred order.  The
corollary, of course, is does that order stick if you close and reopen the
same file. later.
