How to shuffle the order of panes in a tmux window?

Question

I would like to shuffle the order of panes in a tmux window.

I didn't find any instructions about it in the tmux help or cheatsheet, except for swapping specific panes.

Is there a way to shuffle the order of panes?

You can rotate all the panes in a window by using the rotate-window command. I use the following binding to rotate all the panes in my window:

bind-key -n M-r rotate-window -Ut :+

(Alt+r rotates all panes in window)

Noting happens when I try it. I also tried just typing `CTRL+B` -> `rotate-window -Ut :+` and nothing happened – Yuval Atzmon Nov 03 '19 at 17:53
Which version of TMUX are you running? Can you upgrade? – anerisgreat Nov 03 '19 at 18:08
I can't upgrade on the machine I need it. Indeed it is a version issue (it works on another machine). – Yuval Atzmon Nov 03 '19 at 19:32
