I've renamed the workspaces 1 to >_, 2 to web and 10 to com. The others are not modified.

Now if all workspaces are in use, they are listed as following: 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 >_ com web

How do I define how they're listed? I'd want them to be as they're on the keyboard. >_ web 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 com.

I've just come to the conclusion that this must have something to do with the order in which they are used, as it's different again now. My config below:

# switch to workspace
bindsym $mod+1 workspace >_
bindsym $mod+2 workspace web 
bindsym $mod+3 workspace 3
bindsym $mod+4 workspace 4
bindsym $mod+5 workspace 5
bindsym $mod+6 workspace 6
bindsym $mod+7 workspace 7
bindsym $mod+8 workspace 8
bindsym $mod+9 workspace 9
bindsym $mod+0 workspace com 

# move focused container to workspace
bindsym $mod+Shift+1 move container to workspace >_
bindsym $mod+Shift+2 move container to workspace web 
bindsym $mod+Shift+3 move container to workspace 3
bindsym $mod+Shift+4 move container to workspace 4
bindsym $mod+Shift+5 move container to workspace 5
bindsym $mod+Shift+6 move container to workspace 6
bindsym $mod+Shift+7 move container to workspace 7
bindsym $mod+Shift+8 move container to workspace 8
bindsym $mod+Shift+9 move container to workspace 9
bindsym $mod+Shift+0 move container to workspace com
