Dragging tabs into an order is very important.

Especially when splitting files, searching through multiple HTML files, very long filenames (those disgusting PG filenames? ), etc. etc.

I mostly use it to put the tabs in "logical" order.

One example... I'm searching through the book for every Error X:

Mr, Smith

It might occur in Chapter 1, 5, and 8.

Then I look for Error Y:

Mrs, Jones

which occurs in 9, 2, and 6.

Now the tabs are in this order at the top of the screen:

Chapter 1, 5, 8, 9, 2, 6.

It's much easier to drag/drop the tabs in logical order... 1, 2, 5, 6, 8, 9.

Without being able to move them around, you would have to Right-Click > Close Other Tabs and start from scratch, then purposefully open all files in order...

When you have many tabs open along the top, it makes it a nightmare to find the exact file you're looking for... especially if they appeared in essentially "random" order.
