Stop last active window moving position in dock in Ubuntu 18.04
In Ubuntu 18.04 if I click a dock icon it gives me the previews of each window, it keeps moving the positions of them, which looks to be active first, is there a way to stop this happening?
My issue is when I click a window to open it, I then look at that position the next time I come back there and try to find the window it's been moved to first position.
I appreciate the answer maybe to just remember to look at the first window, but I'd prefer it the other way.

See the duplicate question. Unfortunately, no, there is no way to change the order of Window previews from "Most Recently Used" to "Static", i.e. in the order opened. Hopefully, this will be implemented once in Dash to Dock.
