Let's suppose you have many windows in a column. When you work in one of them, you B2 it and put it on the top of the stack. Then you work on another one and it goes to the top, moving the previous one to the second position, and so on. This way, your most recently used windows are always on top, the least used ones go to the bottom of the stack. I would find counterintuitive that the windows you used a longer time ago stayed at the top, between your "working windows" and the column and main tag lines. But I would guess the main reason it works this way is that it seemed more natural to move a window to the head than to the tail of a linked list, and it just worked well enough. I see how it may be more practical to stack them at the top when working only with two or three windows, but it would be kind of weird if you have ten. If you feel it will fit your workflow better, it is probably not too difficult to get it done. -- - yiyus || JGL .
