FVWM: Win32-esque alt-tab behavior

On Win32, the alt-tab windowlist is sorted so that the most recently
focused windows are at the start of the list, e.g.:

Window 1 is focused, hit alt-tab, windows list looks like:
1 2 3 4 5
Select 4
Window 4 is focused and raised, window list is now:
4 1 2 3 5

This is very convenient when you using alt-tab to switch between a
handful of windows but have several more open. Unfortunately, I haven't
quite been able to match this behavior in FVWM, so I'm asking for help.
 The closest I've come so far is with this:

Key Tab A M Prev (CurrentPage !Iconic AcceptsFocus) CirculateRaise
Key Tab A MS Next (CurrentPage !Iconic AcceptsFocus) CirculateRaise

DestroyFunc CirculateRaise
AddToFunc CirculateRaise "I" FlipFocus
+ "I" Raise

Unfortunately, I can only switch between the 2 most recently focused
windows this way :)

Any ideas, suggestions, etc. would be great--I'll also try to explain
again if neccesary--I'm not thinking very coherently right now, and I'm
not certain how much sense I'm making, but I wanted to send a message
now before I forget about it.

Thanks,
