Sorting open tabs listed in Window Drop-down menu?

I really hope there's a way to sort the tabs/windows listed in the Windows drop-down menu. It would be pretty cumbersome, time-wasting, and absurd that Firefox, in 2021, makes us look up & down for a certain tab, due to their being shown in completely random order. Is there a way to put them in either alphabetical or chronological order?

No one has an answer as to how to sort open windows so there's some way to more quickly find the one you're looking for?

I've seen this features mentioned a few times in the past and as far as I know then this isn't possible. I think that the list is ordered by when windows are opened or accessed and not alphabetically.

No, sorry, but they're not in any order, not alphabetical nor chronological, which is pretty mind-boggling, since there has to be some manner that determines where they put open windows in the list, no? It can't possibly be complicated to write one line of code that makes it in one order or the other... why don't they just do it?

Having the dropdown Window menu of open pages not being in ANY KIND OF ORDER WHATSOEVER, doesn't bother everybody? How can you function without going dizzy, having to look up and down the list, due to it being completely random? I've not seen a browser that makes what could be quite simple into a hot mess, like this is...

The Windows menu is a MacOS-only feature. Perhaps that partly explains why most people who read threads here aren't resonating with your issue.

That's not to say the order of restored windows in Windows (shown as thumbnail images for the Firefox icon on the Windows Taskbar) is logical, but most people do not open a lot of separate windows, so those complaints also are pretty rare. Fortunately, over the past year, the order has largely stabilized to "same as last session" so it's less jarring when you restore a session.

That's odd, so Windows versions of Firefox don't have a dropdown list of open windows? I've never seen a browser without it, but then, I'm always using a Mac. But since it does have this feature, why can't the windows be in alphabetical or chronological order? That can't be very difficult to do...

Also, a new quirk has popped up, and that's the window I'm currently interacting with, and in the front, suddenly gets replaced by another one, at random, should I open anything else, like a dictionary, my Finder, my Mac Mail, etc! It's very weird that it wouldn't just keep the top, current window open in its same position, I've never ever seen that happen before...

Now this new behavior of windows I was just dealing with suddenly being put underneath several others is really beginning to bug the crap out of me! So now, I can not find it very simply using the drop-down windows menu, since they are in no order whatsoever, but also can't find the darn webpage I was just on, without having to scroll through a bunch of windows I hadn't even looked at! Why is FF doing this? What kind of wack browser insists on making it so difficult to find tabs you were just looking at, or to find them in general??? I'm a hair's breath away of chucking this completely, and going to Safari or Brave, or any browser that has rational, logical navigation features...
