Sorting by URL doesn't seem to look beyond the first slash

The sorting works well for the most part. However, I find that some things don't sort quite as well, such as Google Docs.

After sorting, I'm left with something like this:
Sheets, Sheets, Slides, Docs, Sheets, Sheets, Slides, Docs

Desired:
Docs, Docs, Slides, Slides, Sheets, Sheets, Sheets, Sheets

It seems the sorting mechanism is not looking after the slash:
....com/presentation
....com/spreadsheet
....com/document

Great extension otherwise!

Doesn't work with Chrome's Tab Groups

If my browser window has any "Tab Groups" (the recent addition by Chrome where you can group tabs natively) everything gets weird when using the extension. Tabs leave their group and go to other groups. I can keep pressing the keyboard shortcut and things reorder again each time.

I doesn't work for the last update of Vivaldi

Today I updated Vivaldi to the last stable 3.0.1874.38 (Stable channel) (64-bit) on macOS and Windows. In macOS still working as usual, but in Windows doesn't work anymore. Not even the manual press of the button (which attempts to show a pop-up very thin). Tried reinstall the extension, and reopen Vivaldi. The other extensions that I have are Clutter Free (never had incompatibility between both before), Nano Defender, uBlock, GoodTwitter and Magic Actions for Youtube.

background script

Simple extensions like this one should all use utilize bg scripts, I see no reason for it running all the time while consuming resources. None of my simple extensions like history master, lazy tabs, or simpleextmanager run in the background.

TL;DR - Make the time-based auto sorting an optional setting, please and thank you!

I find your extension interesting, however I disabled it within a few seconds after installing when I saw the settings page. I haven't uninstalled it yet because I still think it may be useful if updated for further user configuration in its behavior, but as of right now I'm just frightened to let it run amok on my browser. If you care to hear out my reasoning, I'll explain my approach and prospective use case for this extension and why I'm hesitant to enable it until its been updated:

First off, as noted by Vladimir Lenin in his May 11 2016 review, despite its name this extension is not explicitly a high level tab "organizer", it is more of a low level domain-based tab "sorter". Now I read both the title as well as well as the description plus that review and your response to him before I installed the extension so I knew what I was signing up for. However then I saw from the settings pane that I am left with no option but to let this extension rearrange my tab order.

There are a plethora of other extensions out there that offer browser window and tab organizational schemes that I and many others already use. SideWise, Session Buddy, Toby, Too Many Tabs, Bookmark My Tabs, One Tab, Tabs Manager, Project Tab Manager, IE Tab Multi, and several others besides immediately come to mind. I myself personally prefer to use Tabs Outliner since it offers a full hierarchical tree structure within which I can layer relevant windows and tabs as I see fit. As Vladimir said, within these use cases all "Tab Organizer" would do then is automatically rearrange what structure you've already set up and thus "...breaking your useful order, without possibility to revert changes..."

However I do still think there is a niche use case that this extension does cater towards. No, it doesn't offer anything nearly as full fledged as Tabs Outliner does in my opinion but on the other hand all of my current sorting within that structure is done by a an effective but repetitive series of keyboard strokes (ctrl+up, ctrl+down, ctrl+left, ctrl+right) or the more cumbersome option of drag & drop operations. This extension on the other hand offers auto-sorting functionality of a browser window based on domain names, and if you implement the suggestions of some of the people below (which I second!) of introducing even deeper sorting algorithms by incorporating URL subdomain paths (ex: "youtube.com", "youtube.com/watch?v=*", "youtube.com/feed/subscriptions", "youtube.com/feed/history", "youtube.com/user/*", "youtube.com/playlist?list=*", and so on) or regular expressions (a text box in the settings page where users can enter certain URL strings to either whitelist or blacklist from auto-sorting, such as "chrome-extension://insert-pattern-here.suspended.html#*" as this would solve Denis Lugowski's feature request below regarding tabs that have been hibernated by The Great Suspender) then all of that manual sorting time can be cut in half if not more! With one keystroke I can get a flat list of related tabs and then from there I could further organize into nested lists of sub categories based on relevance criteria that go beyond simple domain pattern matching.

Compatibility with The Great Suspender extension

It would be nice if the Tab Organizer could organize tabs which where suspended by the extension The Great Suspender.

The URL of the suspended tabs is the same with the difference that the extension prepends an own URL. So all suspended tabs are getting grouped together instead of grouping them by the website.

Subdomains

Could you group tabs by domain, and then subdomain?

That'd allow things like https://asset1.basecamp.com to be grouped next to https://basecamp.com - currently they're seen as completely separate
