Description ydjin 2010-05-26 11:19:35 UTC 
Version:           4.4 (using KDE 4.4.3) 
OS:                Linux

First of all, I want to thank for the useful plugin 'present window'. It helps me greatly when I work with multiple window. However, it seems like the plugin place window randomly when present them and it makes hard to find window I want. In my opinion, it would greatly improve the usability of the plugin to have a configurable rule to sort the spatial order of window especially for grid layout mode. (e.g. desktop number(1st desktop)-application name(firefox)-window name(KDE Bug Tracking System))

Reproducible: Didn't try

Thanks for the idea! The plugin tries its best to preserve the windows' current positioning. It would be more confusing if the ordering was based on some other hidden thing.
