Description

I have a Firefox window with a lot of tabs (~70), and I had them neatly arranged into a hierarchy using Tree Style Tabs.

I accidentally pressed the "Sort Tabs" button in the popup dialog that comes up when pressing the Multi-Account Container extension's toolbar button, and now tab tree has been completely messed up.

It would be nice to have a way to undo this operation.

Research direction
The issue requests an undo feature for the 'Sort Tabs' action in the Multi Account Containers extension. First, examine the current sort implementation in the popup dialog, likely in a file like `popup.js` or similar. Then, implement an undo stack or revert mechanism that restores the previous tab order after a sort. Consider using browser extension storage or a simple array to store previous tab order before sorting. Testing can be done with many tabs to ensure the undo works correctly.
