XMonad.Layout.SortedLayout

A LayoutModifier that sorts the windows in another layout, given a list of properties. The order of properties in the list determines the order of windows in the final layout. Any unmatched windows go to the end of the order.

Usage:

You can use this module with the following in your xmonad.hs:

import XMonad.Layout.SortedLayout

Then edit your layoutHook to sort another layout (in this case, Grid):

myLayout = sorted [ClassName "Firefox", ClassName "URxvt"] Grid
main = xmonad def { layoutHook = myLayout }

For more detailed instructions on editing the layoutHook see the tutorial and XMonad.Doc.Extending.

sorted :: [Property] -> l a -> ModifiedLayout SortedLayout l a
