How to sort Recent Session list?

[samot]

I'm using the PL/SQL-Developer in the multi session mode.

It is possible to define the sort order for the main session list (Sessions | Logon) via Tools | Preferences | Logon History | Sessions

But I couldn't find an equivalent option that works for the session list at the bottom of every SQL-Window too. It seems to be sorted for last use (since the last regular restart), but I'm working in the Support and my list contains 20-30 different entries. And because I do not remember, when I used a specific session the last time, this sorting order is useless for me (I would prefer sorting by user / db)

Maybe someone could tell me:
- how to sort this list
- how to remove old entries (from users / dbs that not longer exists)

best regards

If you go to Tools > Define Connections you can create any explicit sort order and hierarchy. This is especially useful if you have a lot of different connections.

Thanks, this should help, but can you tell me please how I can export the Recent connections so that I can reimport them to the Imported History etc. (or where I can find the recent list, if it is already saved somewhere).

The connections are stored in the user.prefs file in the following directory:

%APPDATA%\PLSQL Developer\Preferences\

For example:

C:\Users\\AppData\Roaming\PLSQL Developer\Preferences\\user.prefs

The recently used connections are stored in the [CurrentConnections] section, the user-defined connections are stored in the [Connections] section.
