Missin Control and spaces

How do I keep spaces in the same order? They recently starting reshuffling the Desktop order. I have 5 spaces (Desktops) open. Desktop 5 will suddenly show up as desktop 2 for example. I move it back to 5 but it can move somewhere else again.

According to:

Change Mission Control preferences on Mac - Apple Support


Uncheck:

  1. Automatically rearrange Spaces based on most recent use

If you created multiple workspaces using Spaces, get quicker access to your most recently used spaces.


2 When switching to an application, switch to a Space with open windows for the application

If you use Spaces, have your desktop scroll to a space with open windows for an app when you switch to that app.
