In KDE3 there was an option to sort the entries in the task manager by virtual desktop (i.e. first list the apps on desktop 1, then destkop 2, ...)

I tend to open all my apps on their own desktop, It's handy if akregator on desktop 1 is always on the left of taskbar, followed by konqueror on desktop 2, ... As this allows me to hit them quickly (as I know where they'll be in the taskbar)

I can work around this by opening the apps in the order I want them, but that's  gets cumbersome, and necessitates waiting on e.g. kmail to show a window, before alt+f2-ing to start the next app

It's also anyoing when I need to restart konqui (cause it's lost track of klauncher again)
