The order of the windows appears to be top to bottom, but they are
presented left to right when you click the launcher icon, this causes
confusion. Suggest that giving right to left priority over top to bottom
would simplify the 2 window case.

Title:
  Unity spread "randomly" shuffles overlapping windows

Status in Unity:
  Confirmed
Status in “unity” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  When the spread is used to display multiple windows of the same
  application, Unity will randomly order those windows if they overlap.

  This is annoying when trying to locate one window from a group of very
  similar windows, eg terminal windows. Since they all look the same in
  the spread I have to check each one in turn. But because Unity
  shuffles them around, it is impossible to tell which ones I have
  already checked.

  Here is a video which demonstrates the bug:
