Option to list windows in most-recently-brought-to-front order in Window Selector

Description
I'm sure there's some sensible logic to the order that windows are shown in the Window Selector menu, however I think it might be more useful if the menu was sorted in order of "how recently the window was last brought to the front". That way you know immediately that things near the top of the menu are the windows you've recently been using, and the ones lower down are things you've had around for ages and not used.
Most of the time people are probably wanting to choose a window they used relatively recently. With this feature, they would know it will be listed near the top of the menu and would be able to find it quicker.
No doubt some people wouldn't want this behaviour (and I can see there is merit an alternative algorithm which attempts to keep windows at the same position in the menu throughout a session, so you learn where they are). In this case, perhaps Window Selector could be given a Preferences dialog where you can choose what ordering to use?
