You can keep using the tabify method to switch the order of the tabs.
tabifyDockWidget(under, over)
import random
class MainWin(QtGui.QMainWindow):
def __init__(self):
super(MainWin, self).__init__()
prev = None
for i in xrange(5):
d = QtGui.QDockWidget("Dock %d" % i, self)
self.addDockWidget(QtCore.Qt.BottomDockWidgetArea, d)
if prev:
self.tabifyDockWidget(prev, d)
prev = d
t = QtCore.QTimer(self)
t.timeout.connect(self.randomTab)
t.start(2000)
def randomTab(self):
a, b = random.sample(self.findChildren(QtGui.QDockWidget), 2)
print "Setting %s over %s" % (b.windowTitle(), a.windowTitle())
self.tabifyDockWidget(a, b)
