Can't reorder last window

I have multiple windows open and try to reorder the last window, move it to the left, between some other windows, but it never sticks, it just moves back as the last window shown. I can try to move the other windows and then they end up as the last ones, which makes for a very cumbersome way of reordering windows.

If it is a window-backed application, it won't be able to be pinned because it doesn't have a .desktop file association, so it will always move to the far right. You can check by right-clicking the app, if you see "Create shortcut", then its window-backed. Can't reproduce otherwise.

I'm not trying to pin the application, just reorder the current running ones. It's happening with Chrome, Evolution, Roxterm, any app basically.

None of the applications are pinned, say I have 5 applications, I want to move the rightmost in the middle, it doesn't move. I can however move the third and fourth one, ensuring that the fifth one ends up as the third, but it's cumbersome.

I've tweaked quite a few options compared to the defaults, they do not influence the attempts at all ?

If you disable pin on drag, that might break it because its only re-ordering them by favorite index, the drag handler sees your icon hovering over a spot, and will ignore it if that mode is not enabled. I don't see the point in re-ordering things that can't persist across reboots, so I haven't implemented this type of re-ordering, but others are welcome to submit a PR.
