Maybe it's just me but it really annoys me that files are opened in the tab bar in Visual Studio by default to the left. I naturally tend to think from left to right as that is the way I read.

In order to change this behavior so that the tabs open to the right of any currently open tabs, go to the Tools drop down menu in Visual Studio and configure as follows:

  • Tools -> Options
  • Environment -> Documents
  • Check the "Insert documents to the right of existing tabs" checkbox

Problem solved :-)

Nice tip! I also prefer left to right order (like broswer tabs).

I'm looking for the same tip for SQL Server Management Studio but I didn't find yet:
