On eclipse, how to get editor tabs sorted by most recently used?

I like to work with a lot of tabs open, but I can't see any logic to which tabs stay visible on the screen versus which tabs get hidden and stored in the column down the right hand side.

I would like it to keep my tabs ordered so that the left most tab is the file I have edited most recently, the one next to that the next most recent and so on.

I've spent 30 minutes looking through options and googling and can't find anything. Can someone help? Where can I set editor tab ordering strategies?

Many thanks!

In the preferences General > Appearance, there is an option Show most recently used tabs that you would want to enable for that.
