======================

TaskArrange is a simple utility that lets you rearrange the buttons of
the Windows taskbar.

Sometimes we open our programs in a specific sequence, to keep their
taskbar buttons in a desired order. But what happens if a program
crashes or we close it, and then we open it again? That's right - its
task button ends up last in the taskbar. Windows itself does not allow
us to move the task buttons around, so we are stuck with two options:
either accept the new order, or close everything and reopen them in the
preferred order. TaskArrange brings an end to this annoyance, by letting
us do exactly what we want: reorder the task buttons.

=========================

This does just what it says. No install. 20kb file size.
Dunno why anybody would want it though...

It would be nice if it did. IMO however I don't think it does. Button
Boogie does other things than just re-arrange taskbar buttons. It also
does automatic resizing of windows etc. Though I haven't got it to
consistently work correctly in that regard with Firefox etc.

From the Known Issues section in the help file:

There are a few possible problems you might run into:

The "taskbar buttons grouping" option in Windows XP makes it impossible
to separate the grouped buttons and sometimes interferes with the
movement of plain, non-grouped buttons. So, it is recommended that you
turn this option off (right-click on the taskbar, select Properties and
uncheck "Group similar taskbar buttons") if you use TaskArrange.

This also does what it says :-) in that if you've got the option to
group similar taskbar buttons selected, then it won't work. Pity, but
that's how it behaves on my WinXP Pro system.
