Here's the problem. I have a main TabControl in my silverlight application. Most of funcioanlity, divided in modules is accesible through this TabControl. Reordering tabs is pretty important to every content (there are documents, editors, etc. in tabs) except one - Desktop tab which i wish to place always as first. It is possible to close other tabs but not Desktop. Blocking reordering Desktop tab is not that important so i don't want to dig in to much but maybe anyone knows some tricky solution for my problem. I'm using my own class Inherited from Telerik.TabControl but i think in this case it should bahve as standard TabControl.

It's not a typical "Telerik issue". Solution of this problem for common TabControl can be easily applied to Telerik's TabControl.

You could put tabs into "categories" and sort on categories first, and then by some other indicator. Set the the desktop tab to be in catehory 0, and all others into category 1.

Thanks alot. Thats what i was looking for. Simple and easy. There will be some painfull work to set category to each view (tab), but it's always better than some rocket science i was affraid of.
