I'm getting a really annoying side effect happening in osx that I can't seem to find a way to fix: for some reason the full screen applications keep switching positions. For example, if I have Safari, Mail and Xcode open in full screen, in exactly that order, every once in a while they will swap positions (eg. Xcode will sometimes move to the left, so the that swiping left will bring me to Safari instead of mail). The order of these applications is important for productivity purposes, and it gets really confusing when you have 6 of them open and all of a sudden Mail goes from spot 6 to spot 2.
Any ideas how to get this switching of places to stop?
Open System Preferences> Mission Control and make sure that box is unchecked. If the behaviour of Desktops/ Spaces is now working as you would expect, then delete the file in the Trash. Hello!

Click the Apple () symbol in the menu bar and select System Preferences... in the dropdown menu. Click the Dock & Menu Bar icon in the preference pane. Make sure Dock & Menu Bar is selected in the sidebar, and under "Menu Bar," uncheck the box next to Automatically hide and show the menu bar in full screen.
Go to System Preferences > Mission Control and make sure that "Automatically rearrange spaces based on recent use" is not ticked.
