does debian 13.1' xfce panel sort applications not by the application's name but by the name of the opened file?

can I change it?

I find it tiresome: sometimes vlc is to the left, others to the right. This happens with other applications as well.

Can I sort them by application name instead of file name?

xfce-panel -p/--preferences (missing in settings window)

Right-click somewhere on a empty panel space > "panel" > "panel settings" (choose your panel if multiple) > tab "objects". Edit "window buttons" or whatever object you have there (each has their own settings dialog).

Normally, there should be a "properties" on right-click on the respective object for direct access. But that's missing in "window buttons".
