You should make feature request for those.  Because I am not likely to 
look at them myself, sorry.
I just picked this up as long as it was/is editor related.

About the toolbar text+item => IMHO there should be a global option, and 
all windows should follow.

About your original request. There is actually a menu entry (menu 
"Windows") "Manage Source Editors"

That allows sorting, but again only one at a time. It could allow multi 
select. You can also keep it open, and use ti to go to each editor. 
Except the current layout makes it too wide.
(It can show alpha-sorted, but then it will not move the actual tabs / 
if it is not sorted, it will move tabs)

You can propose a patch to this. Might be accepted. (But no promise).
