How to make document tabs in Visual Studio 2008 appear in left-to-right order, just as it was in earlier VS?

Question

In earlier versions of VS (2003 for sure, maybe 2005) when you open a project file, the tab opens to the right. In current VS 2008 it always opens to the left, so I have to rearrange them manually. It's time consuming and stupid, since I feel I'm forced to write in the right-to-the-left order. I looked for appropriate settings, but haven;t found anything.

Is this behaviour permanent? Any way to turn it back?

In Visual Studio 2010, it is possible to have document tabs open left to right. The option is under: Tools > Environment > Documents

Check "Insert documents to the right of existing tabs"
