(277/308) 1858 - Recent buffer switcher loses order when a buffer is closed

* Open several buffers
* Open recent buffer switcher. Entries are correctly sorted by most-recently used.
* Press shortcut to close a buffer (delete key for me)
* Seen: Buffers revert to alphabetical order.
* Expected: Buffers stay in most-recently used order

Here is a patch that fixes it for me. It's my first contribution to jEdit so sorry if I've not followed all the correct conventions.

Just checking, what do you have set in Utilities - Global Options - View for "Sort Buffer Switcher" and "Sort BufferSwitcher by file name instead of path name"? I'm asking because I can't seem to reproduce this issue.

Thanks. Both of those settings are ticked for me. Let me know if there is anything else that would help e.g. screenshots.

Hi Dale,
Perhaps I can clarify how to reproduce.
* Create files a.txt, b.txt, c.txt, d.txt, e.txt.
* Open/switch to them so that e is most recent and a oldest.
* Open recent buffer switcher. Files are correctly with e at top and a at bottom.
* STILL WITHIN recent buffer switcher, use the cursor keys to move the highlighted file down to c.txt, and press delete, which closes buffer c.txt.
* Observed: switcher shows a, b, d, e in alphabetic order.
* Expected: e, d, b, a in recent order.

Thanks,
Adam
