Description mrroach 2003-06-03 21:08:26 UTC 
Description of Problem:
There doesn't seem to be any sort of logic behind
the order in which items appear in the task list.
It doesn't appear alphabetical, nor in the order
applications are launched, is there a logic to it
that I am missing?

I will attach a screenshot showing examples.

Comment 2 Havoc Pennington 2003-06-04 15:43:09 UTC 
They're in a deterministic (doesn't change) but basically 
random order now, yes. I'm not sure why it's done that way.

Can do either alphabetic or order of launch pretty easily.
Comment 3 Alexander Larsson 2003-06-05 07:11:53 UTC 
They are currently sorted on xwindow id or something. I don't remember
why it was done that way.
Comment 4 Calum Benson 2003-11-20 18:28:21 UTC 
Order of launch makes sense to me, IIRC that's how Windows does it too.
Comment 5 Marius Gedminas 2004-10-06 12:36:55 UTC 
Are there any plans to implement ordering by launch time before GNOME 2.10?
Comment 6 Elijah Newren 2004-10-06 20:08:03 UTC 
Don't know, but I might try giving it a shot.
