For example, I have this :

    # switch to workspace
    bindsym $mod+ampersand workspace www
    bindsym $mod+eacute workspace mail
    bindsym $mod+quotedbl workspace im
    bindsym $mod+apostrophe workspace dev
    bindsym $mod+parenleft workspace zik
    bindsym $mod+minus workspace taf
    bindsym $mod+egrave workspace 7
    bindsym $mod+underscore workspace 8
    bindsym $mod+ccedilla workspace compta
    bindsym $mod+agrave workspace term

But the workspaces are ordered by the first loaded application process.

Can't we imagine a way to fix the order without use numbers on the name of the workspaces ?</description><pubDate>Sun, 25 Nov 2012 08:49:04 +0000</pubDate><guid>https://faq.i3wm.org/question/812/keep-workspaces-in-order-possible/</guid></item><item><title>Answer by Michael for &lt;p&gt;Is it possible to keep the differents workspaces in order ?

It is unlikely that anything else will ever come into i3, because I don’t think the additional complexity is worth it.</description><pubDate>Sun, 25 Nov 2012 09:48:43 +0000</pubDate><guid>https://faq.i3wm.org/question/812/keep-workspaces-in-order-possible/?answer=813#post-id-813</guid></item><item><title>Comment by killown for &lt;p&gt;If you need them ordered, prefix them with a number, e.g. "3: dev".
