xfce,how to make app tabs movable in the taskbar of panel?


xfce,how to make app tabs movable in the taskbar of panel?

Say I'm runing several applications at the same time,Firefox ,terminal,thunnar etc. I used to always open a terminal and put it at the first position of taskbar. In kde you can just click on an application tab and drag it where u want it. in xfce thoese tabs are positioned in a alphabetic order and unmovable. any idea to make that happen ? pls.

In Xfce 4.10, to enable manual position of the apps tabs:
Settings > Panel > Item > Window Buttons > Edit the currently selected item (5th icon down) > Sorting Order > None, Allow Drag and Drop.

Hope this helps.
