<p>The <a href="http://osxdaily.com/2011/10/12/mac-os-x-10-7-2-download/">Mac OS X 10.7.2 update</a> brought with it an unusual change to Mission Control’s behavior, where desktops/spaces will automatically rearrange themselves based on how recently they’ve been used or accessed. If you’ve set your spaces to be <a href="http://osxdaily.com/2011/11/01/move-desktop-spaces-in-mission-control-with-drag-drop/">in a specific order</a>, this is fairly annoying, but it’s also easy to stop.</p>

<ul>

<li>Launch “System Preferences” and click on Mission Control</li>

<li>Uncheck the box next to “Automatically rearrange spaces based on most recent use”</li>

<li>Close out System Preferences</li>

</ul>

<p>With the automatic rearrangement disabled, Mission Control will again remember your app and desktops placement and not reorder them on it’s own. </p>
