Heuristically ;-) Please read section 27.8 entitled "The Buffer List" of the Elisp manual first. That section also tells you how you can manually change the order of buffers in the buffer list. Thereafter you can grep the Elisp sources to find out who calls the function `bury-buffer' and `unbury-buffer' and whether and how these calls mess up the order you wanted in the first place. martin
