tint2 - stop task bar applications rotatiing position when I leftclick

When I left click an already open application on the tint2 bar, to show it/ bring it to the fore, the left clicked application shown, and all the other open applications shown on the task bar rotate position the right.

In essence the one I just left clicked, that was on the left most part of the task bar, just moved to the far right of the task bar and all the other open applications shuffled up one place to the left.

This is action is extremely annoying. What I want is simple: I want all my app icons to remain in place without moving anywhere, unless I close them or move them myself.

I have checked the tint2rc options/ settings here, on this very helpful page
https://gitlab.com/o9000/tint2/blob/master/doc/tint2.md

I thought that setting

mouse_left = toggle_iconify

would stop this happening but it has not.

Anyone know how to stop the open application icons rotating?

Could be

grep "sort_order" ~/.config/tint2/tint2rc 
# gives me: taskbar_sort_order = none

Thanks very much. That was it. That sorted it. I was going in circles looking.
