Re: XFCE + Konsole - sorting by terminal title?

I'd rather it was alphabetical, to save time jumping from
one system to another.

I'm sure others have the same issue.
How is it managed?  Do you just look up and
down the list of Konsoles until you spot the hostname
you want to switch to?

The Preferences dialog for xfce4-panel's "Window Buttons" component (which implements the "task bar") has an option for controlling the sorting order, which offers the following options:

	Timestamp
	Group title and timestamp
	Window title
	Group title and window title
	None, allow drag-and-drop

(This is on a Debian jessie system; I don't have a wheezy installation handy.)

I believe either the third or fourth option would be the one you want.
