Caveat: I'm looking at 5.15; not sure if anything relevant has
changed recently.

I'm not sure I understand the symptoms correctly, but here
are a couple of possibilities...
If the problem is that when you open a new tab, it comes up in
the middle of that list, try turning *off*:
Preferences > Windows > Tabs > "Open new tabs adjacent to current tab"
That will make newly opened tabs appear at the end of the list,
which should leave your already-open tabs undisturbed.
If, on the other hand, the problem is that the tabs that are
already open spontaneously shuffle themselves -- e.g. such that
"savings" appears before "checking" without you having moved it
there -- I don't recall having seen that.
The only thing I can think of, and I admit it's a long shot: the
list and order of currently opened tabs is specific to each data
file. If you're maintaining multiple sets of books (for two
organizations, say, or a backup that you sometimes refer to), it
might be that their open-tab lists are different.
If that's the case, carefully get all your gnucash files' lists
into alignment, and hopefully they'll stay that way. If they
drift apart again, something else is going on.
