With the Task Manager set to "Sorting: Manual" tasks that have been
arranged manually work properly as long as I stay on the same desktop.
Once I switch to another desktop, then switch back, the taskbar entries
have moved back to where they were before I arranged them manually.
I also have grouping set to "Do not group" if that makes any difference.

Confirming here from my duplicate bug:
Sometimes I notice that my entries have been rearranged even without
my switching virtual desktops.
I cannot really tell what the widget is trying to sort the tasks by. It does
not appear to be the order in which they were opened and it certainly is not
being done alphabetically by program name.

My configuration for the Task Manager plasma widget is as follows:

This is very useful feature. Please fix it ASAP. Now task manager
reorders applications in very unpredictable way after virtual desktop
switch. It makes me nervous that applications are messed up every time.

For the record, I believe this bug also applies to "Do Not Sort" (at
least in 4.3.0), as well as sorting "Manually". I use "Do Not Sort", and
frequently I find that the task manager forgets the order of items when
I switch desktops. Very annoying to have to relearn where your apps live
on the taskbar.

I can confirm this BUG on Fedora 11 KDE 4.3.1 . Its driving me crazy as I cant use workspaces anymore. I have around 25 to 30 windows open with no grouping in the taskbar. Switching workspaces, reloading the WindowManager or doing anything that causes the window list to get reloaded makes the taskbar shuffle all the windows. This pretty much stops me from using workspaces. Shuffling stuff randomly really sucks for usability.

the main problem is probably that the taskbar code is quite big and
complicated, has many other bugs and the people that know the code have
currently other projects in plasma. But "soon" feature freeze for kde

when i compare the # of items on our TODO lists and the # of people we
have working on them, i can certainly believe it. also realize that
(with some odd exceptions) we don't advertise "target dates" on any of
the reports here.
you do have a unique opportunity here, however: unlike some other
software, this is f/oss and you can write a patch to fix it now instead
of waiting for someone else to do it for you. the code is in
kdebase/workspace/libs/taskmanager/

Yes, I had, but I found a workaround by Bartosz Kwitniewski's comment
(#37).
Turn off "Only show tasks from the current screen". (It worked in 4.4.2)

I still seem to have the problem. I tried the setup in #37 to no effect. Whenever I switch desktop then switch back the taskbar seem to reset itself (thus undoing both manual grouping and manual ordering).
By the way I had it in KDE 4.4.2 as well.

Thanks for your hint.
I spent more time on this issue and seems like the main problem is not
the workspace switching but new/closed applications at this time.
Now also clear that the unexpected reordering happens only when there's
2 or more rows (I force row settings with value 2). Also works for me if
I've only 1 row.
My taskbar settings:
Force row settings: yes
Show tooltips: yes
Highlight windows: yes
Maximum rows: 2
Groupping: manually

Hmm? I am experiencing this in 4.7.3.
Alt-drag an app on the taskbar onto another app. Group is created.
Ctrl-f2 to go to second desktop, then Ctrl-f1 to go back to first
desktop (where I did the grouping), and they are ungrouped.
Tried various combinations of settings such as for the "show only on
screen" fix to no avail.
