I think I understand - do you mean that if you repeatedly show and hide the Layers panel with "L" (for example), it should always go back to its previous group? That's fairly easily achievable, but restoring the tab to the same location within its previous set of tabs would be more difficult to implement.
The default algorithm is designed to favour existing floating windows over sidebars, and spread new panels out as much as possible so that more are shown side by side. However it doesn't attempt to group similar kinds of panel together so that, e.g. all the brush selectors go in one group (when there's space). Would that be an improvement?
