Its on line number 1297 of the
file named libwnck-2.14.3/libwnck/tasklist.c

Hi,
 
I have commented out the sort section by moving the */ down like this:
--------------------
/* Sort
          class_group_task->windows = g_list_sort (class_group_task->windows,
                                                   wnck_task_compare_alphabetically);
          */
--------------------
 
I have built and installed the newly created package, and it seems to work fine, no sorting, though I tested it only for only 10 minutes now, so maybe something will go wrong in the future. I hope not.
 
Regards. 
 
 
P.S. Should I submit a patch? how/where to etc.

No; it's hardcoded :(

Good point.  You may want to try creating a little patch.  The sorting
happens in libwnck/libwnck/tasklist.c --- look for where
wnck_task_compare_alphabetically() is used; it's only used where the
windows within a group are sorted.
