prev goes back in the list and since it's at the first member.. back goes to
the LAST item in the list which is not having the "next before last" added at
the end. so the changes happen at the start of the list which is most recent to
least recent.

the problem with using this next interpretation is its going to be very
arbitrary - it'll be for example just in order clients appear. generally the
useful focus order is order focused so most recently focused are near
each-other at the front of the list.
