Hello Allen, Thank you very much for your response. It wasn’t exactly the answer I was looking for, but it most definitely helps, because everything is in fact listed in alphabetical order in the window. Plus, the narrow window stays open on my desktop, unless I decide to close it. I use the aforementioned open documents throughout the day, so your suggestion definitely saves me some time.
Yes, when I submitted my question, I too already suspected that document ordering in the Dock menu is something which is controlled by the Mac OS, and not by BBEdit. It would be nice though to receive an official response from Rich or Patrick. :) Thanks again.
