Grouped windows reorder themselves at the start of Window Buttons list

I have a panel at the top with the Window Buttons plugin added with these options:

  • Sorting order: None, allow drag-and-drop
  • Window grouping: Always

Let's say i ordered my windows like this: [Firefox][Thunar], then i open a new Thunar window.

What happens:

  • The buttons rearrange themselves like this [Thunar(2)][Firefox]

What should happen:

  • Buttons should keep their order like this [Firefox][Thunar(2)]

Closing the newly created Thunar window restores the buttons order to [Firefox][Thunar]. Here's a short video showing what happens:
