I can't figure out how to determine the front most window of a

[NSApplication keyWindow] and mainWindow become null when
application or document are not main
[NSApplication windows] has list of all windows, but appears to be
arbitrary order (or at least switching order of two windows does not
change order in the windows array returned by NSApplication). Thus
it cannot be used to find which window for a document is first.
I looked for some ordered list of windows but couldn't find it
(although Apple Script "windows" property of an application does
have them in order)
NSWindowList
Gets information about onscreen windows.
void NSWindowList ( NSInteger size, NSInteger list[] );
Discussion
Provides an ordered list of all onscreen windows. It fills list with
up to size window numbers; the order of windows in the array is the
same as their order in the window server’s screen list (their front-to-
back order on the screen). Use the count obtained by NSCountWindows to
specify the size of the array for this function.
