Wrong order of buffers

[mikehaertl]

I can't say, how i managed to get this, but i've seen it several times now: MBE sometimes messes up the buffer order, so that e.g. the order is 1, 5, 4 instead of 1,,4,5. This can be irritating for example if you're on buffer 1 and want to switch to the right next buffer (5), but it activates buffer 4 instead.

It would be good to have the buffers sorted in ascending order.

@mikehaertl How do you switch buffers? 'bn'? 'bp'? or MBE's command 'MBEbn', 'MBEbp', 'MBEbb', 'MBEbf', the last two switch buffers in MRU order, also, there is a config option 'let g:miniBufExplSortBy=mru' to make MBE show buffers in MRU order.

Thanks, i used bn / bp. I've changed to your suggestions. Guess that will fix the issue.

@techlivezheng is it possible to introduce an option which sorts buffers in ascending buffer number order after a new buffer is added for the non-mru mode. This would keep the order buffer order the same as :buffers and then built-in commands like :bn / :bp in addition to other plugins will continue to work as expected.

This issue is reproduced as follows:

1. Use a quickfix command (:grep string -R *)
2. Open the first and third file from quickfix.
3. Open the second file from quickfix.

The buffers are now listed as: 1,3,2

@saamalik Interesting problem, I got the problem as you described with your procedure, it seems that the buffers had already been opened after quickfix command, MBE just display them in the order they were activated. I think there is no need for an option, just need to sort the buffer list after a new buffer being added, it should be a default behavior. Will do it soon.

@saamalik Should be fixed now, please give it a try.

@techlivezheng just tested--looks great! Thanks.
