Taskbar Shuffle - Rearrange Windows Taskbar
Taskbar Shuffle is a very nifty little program that allows you to re-arrange your Windows Taskbar. The coolest thing about it - drag-and-drop functionality. For those of us who are extremely anal about organization, it’s a great little tool.
While Taskbar Shuffle does help visually, a side problem (and not specific to Taskbar Shuffle per say) is that most of these programs don’t help change the Alt-Tab order. So, while my windows are organized the way I want them on my Taskbar, they are not when I’m Alt-Tabbing through my programs.
It’s debatable whether that is something I would always want (i.e., an order to my Alt-Tab - using Alt-Tab typically just shows the most recent program accessed) but it wouldn’t be a horrible option to have.

Not to be “that guy” but this type of intuitive functionality comes standard on Mac OSX. :) Okay so I am “that guy”. Sorry. :)

Just found this artice when searching for “rearrange windows taskbar”. You do know the alt-tab option lists the programs in the order they last had focus, hence it’s usefulness for skipping between two programs quickly. Re-arranging this would essentially defeat the point of it, since you can re-arrange it manually by using the programs you want in the right order, and it would never stay the same!
