SATA0-SATA1 Port order in Windows Taskbar - Able to change / reorder?

Is there an easy way to reorganize the SATA port order within the windows Taskbar (when you mouse-roll-over the PC3000 Icon in the taskbar)?
It's more of an annoyance than a problem, but for various reasons (often seemingly for no good reason) the SATA Port order of PC3000 project windows gets mixed up in the left-to-right order in how Windows displays them when you roll-over the icon in the taskbar.
in the Windows Taskbar pop-up, I wish it would always look like:
SATA0 - SATA1 - SATA2 - SATA3
and when it gets out of order, I wish there was a simple way to re-order them back to this without closing and restarting the projects in order again. Is there a way that I'm missing?
instead of sometimes looking out-of-order like:
SATA1 - SATA3 - SATA2 - SATA0 , for instance.

You just choose one, click/hold and drag it to the new position.

On my systems it seems like that would work, but since it's just a mouse-over pop up, it doesn't allow me to drag, and just switches to the other ports' pop-up without dragging anything despite click/hold and drag.
It's the same on all my pc3000 systems. I wonder if it's a Windows setting to allow that...

Yes its a Windows thing. You need to lock the taskbar.

I'm on Windows 10 Pro, 64bit, latest pc3000 updates.
Tried locking taskbar, and many various settings involving the taskbar, but so far, no luck for me. What version of Windows are you on?
I've attached a pic of the situation for clarification, in case we're talking about different things.

I am also on W10 Pro and I see all my icons seperately and they can be moved around. Maybe ACE can shed some light on it.

I think the difference in our settings is under the Taskbar options, I have mine set to "Combine Taskbar Buttons" - "Always, hide labels".
However, even when I choose to never combine taskbar buttons, to make it look similar to your setup, I can't drag and drop the order.
I will say though, maybe there's another difference if the red square next to the 4 pc3000 icons is related to the pc3000. Is it just a different icon for something else maybe?

You need to close all running instances of PC-3000 first. Then launch PC-3000 and select a specific port, e.g., SATA0 and click "make a desktop shortcut". Repeat the process for the other ports (e.g., SATA1, SATA2, etc.).
Run each shortcut and "Pin to taskbar".
This way, you’ll have direct access to specific ports via the taskbar.
