How can I disable the way Windows 7 organizes buttons in the taskbar?

Windows 7 is not organize programs according to the order that you run them, he orders them according to the type of programs, but I do like it. How can I have the same old way as Windows XP?

For example, if I'm under 10 programs and I run Windows Media Player, the Windows Media Player button appears at the beginning the buttons on the taskbar which is what I don't want.

Thanks for any help.

Two points:

1. you can rearrange the buttons in the order you want by simply dragging
the where you want.

2. If you pin a shortcut to the taskbar, it will stay in this
position (except if you drag it elsewhere). This is a very good
thing to do, because it maintains the button in the same place all the time.
If the program is already running. This is the reason why I
prefer the way Windows 7 t - it instead of using a quick launch bar
like previous versions of Windows.
