It's a nice little tip, although I have to question any article that claims task manager items are "randomly moving around."

FWIW I always assumed anyone who really cared about this stuff was using Sysinternals's excellent Process Explorer instead.

Or Process Hacker (https://processhacker.sourceforge.io/) which IMO is even better.

I don't think I could even describe what the current Task Manager window looks like because I've been using Process Explorer as a replacement for probably a decade now.

"Randomly" is colloquially used to mean "chaotically" in a lot of contexts, and the chaotic they mean is "unpredictable enough as to seem or feel random".
