Sort tabs by window or alphabetical order

Right now there is no easy way to determine which tabs are in each window. Say I have 3 windows, and they contain: Window 1: A B C D E Window 2: F G H Window 3: I J K L

Then Quick-tab will show them all in one list like this: A B C D E F G H I J K L, even when the focus is on Window 2. It would be nice if we had the option to have dividers between windows (A B C D E | F G H | I J K L), and to place the tabs belonging to the current window on top, so if I'm in Window 2, I would like to see F G H | A B C D E | I J K L

Thanks!

An alternative approach to the above:

  • color-code the Quick Tab icon -- each Chrome Window has a different Quick Tab icon color (red, blue, green, cyan, magenta, yellow, etc.)
  • add the Quick Tab icon next to each entry in the list of tabs
  • use the color-coded Quick Tab icon to indicate which window the list items correspond to

For example, you might see something like this in the Quick Tab list: 🟡 Tab X in Window 1 🔴 Tab Y in Window 2 🟢 Tab Z in Window 3
🟡 Tab Z in Window 1

And, if possible, the color of the displayed Quick Tab icon matches the color in the tab lists. In other words, each open Chrome window has a unique color (as above) and/or a numeric instance number inside that icon: 1️⃣ Tab X in Window 1 2️⃣ Tab Y in Window 2 3️⃣ Tab Z in Window 3
1️⃣ Tab Z in Window 1

or an easy to differentiate and remember (in the moment) icon: ↙️ ↘️ ➡️ ⬆️ ↖️ ↗️
