Has anyone (with dev skills) considered a patch to prevent automatic reordering of covers by recency?

For me it's confusing more often than it helps, even if I understand this design choice (especially with multitask limited to 9 covers). But with unlimited multitask, or when there are less than 10 covers, having fixed positions would be really useful. I prefer the "manually arranged desktop" idea over the automatic-permanently-shifting-ordering.
