Changing position of a window in “alt+tab”

Any idea how I could change the position of my application in the alt+tab list ?
I'd love to minimize my application and set it as the last one in alt+tab list so if a user presses alt+tab once, it isn't brought back (if there are more Windows ...)
I remember one application had such behavior but I don't remember its name.
Many thanks

You can't directly control your placement in the Alt+Tab list. The system orders the windows by an algorithm that has changed many times over the years.
