6 years ago You need to display favorites Before prefs in the main settings window. The reason it's happening I believe is because of the preferences of the application (i.e. the name is longer or shorter depending on the app that is active). Therefore, toggling that switch to show favorites Before prefs should resolve that issue.
If that doesnt do it, I'd have to think its that other extension you're using.
If you're still seeing this issue, please resubmit it at MMOD Panel @ Gitlab
I'm using MMOD panel along with the built-in Applications Menu extension in Gnome 3.14 (on Debian jessie). At least once or twice a day, when I return to my computer and unlock the desktop, I discover that the items in top bar have re-ordered themselves, such that the favorites/shortcuts now appear after the Applications Menu and the "image/title of the active window".
This is especially annoying because the width of the "image/title of the active window" varies, causing the favorites to keep jumping around left-and-right-again as different windows get focused. Frequently, this causes me to mis-click the wrong favorite since they shift about while I'm moving the mouse pointer (sloppy focus) over towards them. Here are a few example screen grabs of what the left portion of the top bar can look like when this happens:
The workaround I use to fix this is to open the MMOD panel preferences, check the "Before prefs" checkbox, and then un-check it again -- that effectively re-sorts the items so that the Applications Menu appears first, then the favorites, and then the variable-width "image/title of the active window". However, it's really annoying to have to keep adjusting that multiple times a day.
