When ordering by URL, tabs are sorted by primary domain first, and then subdomain. This way, all your open tabs for e.g. Neocities sites will be grouped together, but not a bunch of unrelated tabs that happen to all start with "www."
Developer comments
No "AI" tools were used in the development of this code, in any way.
This extension began as a small tweak to Sort Tabs Advanced but became an almost complete rewrite. Sort Tabs Advanced works very well; If you prefer more options you may wish to use it instead.
Compared to Sort Tabs Advanced, this fork attempts to:
improve URL ordering
make the source code minimalist / concise, to more easily inspect for security or learning
use Manifest V3 package format
use modern JavaScript modules
use only SVG graphics
remove some features I don't use, like: sort by container, reverse sort by url and title, separate sort for "url" and "domain", and toggling sorting pinned tabs
