title: JTabbedPane: avoid automatic re-ordering tabs if stacked / Nimbus
body: <p>a JTabbedPane is just what I need for my purpose.
  I have very limited horizontal space, so my Tabs get stacked, which is perfectly ok.</p>
  
  <p>But the default behaviour is that if user clicks on a Tab, the *<em>Tabs get re-sorted so that the active Tab becomes the lower-mos</em>*t. What looks very intuitive and logical in theory, is a nightmare in practical use, because the users loose track of "which was which". Its just simply plain confusing, I am told again and again.</p>
  
  <p>I guess it should be possible to override some method of the UI to avoid this behaviour (and I dont care whether this would be physically possible with paper cards :-) .</p>
  
  <p>Has anyone any idea where I need to do that? I am using Nimbus LAF, which does not seem to make it easier.</p>
  
  <p>(I thought about using radiobuttons/cardLayout, but I need to put a custom panel in the tab title, and radiobuttons can only have a string or icon. Same for JToggleButton...)</p>
  
  <p>Any hints are greatly welcome!</p>
  
  <p>Thanks &amp; Kind regards,
  Philipp</p>
