Intellij last opened tab reorder (like in Eclipse)

I just moved to IntelliJ (AndroidStudio to be precise) and one of the things I simply can't get by is the way IntelliJ behaves when I switch between tabs. When I have many tabs open and I navigate between the classes (in different files) Eclipse will move the hidden tab back to the front and will reorder the tabs, so that the most recently opened tabs are always unhidden, while the least recent ones are moved to the "hidden" section. In IntelliJ it constantly jumps, as there is no "hidden" section (although there is a button that shows other tabs that did not fit in the main window).

Is there any setting I can use that will force IntelliJ to reorder the tabs such that when I navigate to particular tab, it will move this particular tab say to the most left position? That way I would get a nice viewing history, where the most recently opened tab would be on the left and the least recent on the far right.

The Switcher, opens with Ctrl+Tab and Ctrl+Shift+Tab, should help. It is like the Recent Files switcher (Ctrl+E), but it switches only among open tabs instead of among all recent files whether open or closed.

Intellij has this option. You need to use Recent files shortcut:

Cntr + E

It collects history of tabs which you have been used. And you can easely navigate from among them. Just choose to which you want to switch and press Enter.

UPDATE:

For your question try next settings:
