How to change Google chrome windows order in the Windows task panel

Posted 2021-09-16 打杂人

Usually I need much pages to be open at one time. So there is a Windows task panel. When I open multiple Google Chrome windows by Ctrl+N they appear in some order at the Windows task panel. Also in each windows I can create multiple tabs with pages (Ctrl+T).

I would like to create certain order of Google chrome Windows in the task panel. Say first is window with multiple tabs of my email accounts (gmail, yahoo mail etc). Second is window with tabs of google drive pages (different spreadsheets and docs files pages).

But sometime (I don't know why and how) the order changes itsef. Say window with emails tabs goes down... And then to create initial order I need to close all the windows and reopen them.

Could you please help with following: 1. Why order changes? 2. How can I change the order without closing and reopening all the windows? 3. If I create set of startup pages in the Google Chrome settings all of them open in the separate tabs but within one window. May I create a setting to open them in certain order of windows on each startup of Google Chrome?

I usually do the close/reopen window trick to get the order right.

The steps are following:

1. I close a window I want it to go all on the right/bottom
2. I then click one of any other open remaining Chrome window to be sure that Chrome has the keyboard focus
3. I finally hit CTRL+SHIF+T (Windows) or COMMAND+SHIFT+T (MAC) to trigger the Chrome's command "reopen last closed window/tab". It will reopen the window I closed at (1.) and place it all the way to the right/bottom of the Chrome's window list.

Repeat it for several windows until you get the order you want, it takes a bit of practice to get the order right. One rule is to never close the window you want as leftmost/first.

One thing you can do is close all your windows in the order you want it from left to right. Then reopen all your windows by pressing Ctrl + Shift + T.
