Bug 509013 causes window previews to randomize their order, so it must be fixed first.

The actual icons on the panel are already re-orderable, so, you're talking about the tooltip thumbnails for grouped apps, right?
Comment 4 Fernando M. Muniz 2025-09-17 23:35:42 UTC 
The thing I've tried to drag in the attachment, I don't know the term. It even seems to have reacted to being dragged with a darker highlight effect.
Comment 5 Nate Graham 2025-09-18 19:44:00 UTC 
Yeah, the thumbnails.
