            Bug ID: 366480
           Summary: Restore ability to fix the position of launched
                    application whose launcher was manually sorted
           Product: plasmashell
           Version: 5.7.3
          Platform: Other
                OS: other
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: wishlist
          Priority: NOR
         Component: Task Manager
          Assignee: h...@kde.org
          Reporter: deonix+...@gmail.com
                CC: plasma-b...@kde.org

In KDE 5.7.2 (or maybe earlier?) I noticed a fantastic change where by whenever
you launched an application that had a manually sorted launcher, it would
always open in a fixed position that corresponds to where the launcher icon was
(ala the Windows task bar). e.g. if you had Chromium as your first launcher,
opening it would leave the other launchers to the right of the chrome window,
and this would persist across restarts.

I've been wanting this feature for many years in KDE and was happy to finally
see it come to KDE.

However, after updating to plasma 5.7.3, the feature (or bug?) was removed and
the behaviour reverted back to how it was previously. I would like to see this
added as an option if possible. I tried searching for the change on git
(https://github.com/KDE/plasma-desktop/tree/master/applets/taskmanager) but
could not locate it.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Enable manual sorting with the taskbar and pin multiple application
launchers
2. Open the first pinned application.

Actual Results:  
The application opens to the right of the other launchers.

Expected Results:  
The application opens where it's launcher is, and the other launchers
(non-opened) remain to the right of the opened application.
