No, this has nothing to do with WindowListFunc -- this is what's run when an
item is selected.  As for ordering, you can use FvwmPerl to do this, since
the Show* properties of WindowMenu accept m// -- although were they to allow
m//xsg for instance, this would make things easier for sorting.

You could use All() and use SendToModule to automatically do that, or script
it with FvwmPerl.

Patches welcome.  It's trivial to do.
