This is 'correct' behavior. In your setup, you have two frames,
'North' and 'South', each containing a split. This produces
something like North(West,East), South(West,East). When you move
from South* to North, you enter the last active client in that
frame.

I think this would be a significant change to the way Ion organizes
things. Still, for your specific setup (MxM, where M=2) you could do
the following:
* Name each window using mod_query.query_renameframe(_) in the
Lua console
* Create keybindings to jump to, eg, 'NW' or 'SE'
This won't make it 'like a spreadsheet', but it will allow you to
move rapidly between your four main windows. It's not a full-on
solution, but it might be useful (I was quite pleased to be able to
name frames).
