except that the stack you're swiping between is not represented in the layout of the icons - it's on how recently you've used the app.
ie: if i have photos, calender and safari all on the same row of the home screen, and i open photos, go back to the home screen and then open safari, if i swiped left to right (to go backwards) on the bar at the bottom i'd go directly back to photos, not to calender
You can swipe between apps using the black bar at the bottom.
