"Mission Control" Spaces (Desktops) frequently change order of arrangement.

I am an avid user of Mission Control on macOS... I have been since its inception in High Sierra. It seems that many find it useless, like because they've never used it, or at least not enough to see its benefit. Personally, I think it might well be the single macOS utility that provides the most significant impact on my productivity. I typically arrange my workspace such that each "Desktop" contains all files related to a particular project. On more extensive projects, I arrange is such that each "Desktop" contains apps and/or files related to a given purpose within a project. If there is a specific folder that is used in multiple projects and/or purposes, then I will open a duplicate view of that folder in the Desktop for which it is needed. I frequently have a dozen or more Desktops open and I always know their arrangement, so that I can quickly jump to the one I need.

One issue that I've noticed from High Sierra through Monterey, is that the order of my various "Desktops" will often change without warning and/or without any apparent logical reason. This wouldn't be a big deal, since I can easily enough reorganize them to the previous order. But it is still quite frustrating nonetheless.

If anyone can suggest why this happens and if there might be a way to prevent it, I would greatly appreciate the assistance!
