How to keep the order of the list on windows taskbar when multiple sublime instances opened?
for example:
(1) Open 5 sublime instances, there are 1,2,3,4,5;
(2) When you see the list on windows taskbar, the order of them should be
1
2
3
4
5

I mean the list, but not the thumbnail previews, if you want get the list when you just open few instances, please refer:

(3) When you access/click the one of them, for example, you access/click 3 instance, then click ‘File -> Exit’ of Sublime Text to close all Sublime instances;
(4) Re-open Sublime Text, all instances will reload, but the order of the instances list on taskbar is like:
1
2
4
5
3


Seems that Sublime Text let the last accessed instance in the bottom of the list.

So, my question is: how to keep the order as below when re-opening Sublime Text again:
1
2
3
4
5

Thanks!

maybe just reorder them manually after resuming your multi-window session. You may need to use https://rammichael.com/7-taskbar-tweaker but you should be using it anyway…

Thanks for your idea @kingkeith, but I do not want use any other tool to do this. I think maybe Sublime Text has a configuration to do this.

I remember that the old sublime text version(I forgot what version ) did not change the list order, Just want to get a setting to keep the list order.
