[GNC] Tabs Behaviors in GNC4.1

[D.]

Not sure about how tabs opened in previous versions when set in the top position; I've been using the left side for well over a decade. Currently, they open on the top in a similar manner as I described, with the new tab interpolating itself into the sequence. 

Tabs and windows can be moved, and are saved in their sequence, but new tabs open after the accounts window, no matter where it is placed. Opening a new tab in position 4 out of 7, just because the accounts tab is number 3 makes sense in some world, just not mine.

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.
