If you open a couple folders in Sublime Text 3, you'll see entries for each folder added to the Window menu. It appears that the default format of each entry on the menu is:
(active-filename) - (foldername)
The list on the Window menu is sorted alphabetically starting with (active-filename). Whenever you select a file to work on, the (active-filename) part of the entry changes, and the list reorders itself. If you have a dozen Windows open, the position of a given window in the list will change all the time as you work with files. This makes it hard to find a window when repeatedly switching between Windows.
Is there a way to configure Sublime Text 3 to display only the folder name in the list on the Windows menu? Alternatively, is there a way to configure it to sort on folder name and not on the ever-changing "active" filename?
You can simply press "alt+v" ,you will see menu bar then click "show menubar".
Sublime Text allows you to quickly sort lines alphabetically. Select the lines you want to sort and choose Edit > Sort Lines. You can also use the keystroke F5 (Mac) or F9 (Windows).
You have to add a folder to the Sublime Text window in order to navigate via the sidebar. Go to File -> Open Folder... and select the highest directory you want to be able to navigate. Also, 'View -> Sidebar -> Show Sidebar' if it still doesn't show.
Pressing the “alt” key should show the menu for you.
Unfortunately there open issues around this but no attention form the SublimeText Team yet
