Hello,
Sorry to hear you are having issues. Within Fences you can turn off sorting but you can not disable auto placement. The Icons will always start at the top and move to the right until not enough space than it will move to the second row. etc etc.

It is very unfortunate that such simple, but useful option is not available. Sometimes it is needed to put icons near each other - game shortcut, folder shortcut for this game, shortcut for savefiles/config of this game for fast edit and so on. but there is no way to do that inside the block with all games. creating separate block for one game is not very comfortable and using more space.

You should use those Fences tabs to save space.

I am sorry, I forget you mentioned you on v5. Actually, the request for it were put in by others couple of times before. But, I guess to implement it in a Fences area is not as easy as you think. Specially when Fences need it to keep track of all that layout within the Fences when user desktop changes resolutions and add or removed monitors etc.

Thank you,
