Without looking at the source I would guess that winlist just dumps
out the stack of windows in the order they were reparented by fvwm.

You could try using FvwmIconman, which will sort the list, and can also
give different lists for different applications.

Also, the Perl module interface X11::Fvwm comes with an example winlist
replacement PerlTkWL, which you could hack around with to provide exactly
what you require. If you don't speak Perl, let me know what you're after
and maybe I'll do it for fun :-)
