Well that's a step forward. If for no other reason other than it's hard to explain the drag and drop un-docking/re-docking process, especially verbally over the phone.

Perhaps the 'pecking order' is determined by the order in which the tab-apple dock widgets are defined/created. IMO it would be better if it was determined by the users language direction - e.g. LTR for English, French, Greek etc, and RTL for Farsi, Hebrew, Arabic etc. Qt 6.2 maybe.

FWIW - Rather than having an application start in whatever shambles it was in (or some approximation thereof) when I last terminated it, I would rather have a facility to define default starting states, including main window size & position, dock site content, optional panels shown etc. The file and image management programs I use facilitate this via an explicit Save Layout action, coupled with a Save/Dont Save Layout on Exit setting. If only . . .
