The default switcher is designed to behave like alt-tab - and just like alt-tab
it can show items in a different order to other places (alt-tab shows most
recent windows first, unlike the task manager on the panel).

The activity pager is an alternative (not a part of the main Plasma experience,
as it is in the kdeplasma-addons and not a part of plasma) activity switcher
which does things in a different way.

If you like the activities to be ordered by name, you can use it instead of the
meta+q switcher. I hope someone will port the various alternative activity
switchers[1] from Plasma 4 to Plasma 5 which would provide more alternatives
for this.

[1] Like this one - I actually used this instead of the default one in Plasma

Hello Ivan,

so could you please give me your opinion how the situation with the activity
pager should be sorted out?

The current situation is the following, if a user has the activity pager in its
panel there are situations that the activity pager highlights the last activity
and the activity switcher always the first one... I dont know, at least for me
this is confusing. Either way you are the maintainers you are deciding...

regards,
michail

Hi Michail,

The list is sorted to have the most recently used activities first. And that
*is* the design decision taken collectively at one of the previous Plasma
developer sprints.

The switcher sorts the list in the same way Alt+Tab sorts the windows.

Cheers,
Ivan
