SUMMARY
When a window is closed so that Task Manager re-renders, the order of previously grouped windows which are being un-grouped resets to the default order even if "Sort:" in the options dialog is set to "Manually".

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
0. Apply settings as in attached screenshot
1. Re-arrange an app's windows in TM
2. open enough other windows so that task manager is forced to group
3. close enough other windows so that task manager can un-group

OBSERVED RESULT
The order of application windows is reset to default

EXPECTED RESULT
The manual order should be preserved

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

I can confirm this. It's rather annoying. Any time windows are grouped becasue task manager is too crowded, it forgets the ordering requiring to arrange things manually all over again.

Can still reproduce with current git master.
