You can't fixate the window indeces as of now. If you don't like that
windows in WindowList are in random positions, you may sort it:

  WindowList Alphabetic NoDeskSort

If you search for a way to switch between windows quickly you can do this
without WindowList. Please upgrade your fvwm, 2.0.45 is unsupported.

Here are commands for 2.4.0 that I wrote on the fly, to create shortcuts
for quick window switching. You press Shift-Ctrl-Alt-{1,2,3,4} to create a
numbered shortcut for the current window. Then press Ctrl-Alt-{1,2,3,4} to
switch to a numbered window:

  Key 1 W SCM Key 1 A CM Silent WindowListFunc $$w
  Key 2 W SCM Key 2 A CM Silent WindowListFunc $$w
  Key 3 W SCM Key 3 A CM Silent WindowListFunc $$w
  Key 4 W SCM Key 4 A CM Silent WindowListFunc $$w

WindowListFunc is built-in, but you may use other function for switching.
Silent is optional, it helps if the previously numbered window is closed.

Does it help?

Regards,
Mikhael.
