Why key and main window not be the top window?

osx- I have two windows, I initially set the first window be key window, then set the second window to be key window, then I call [NSApp activateIgnoringOtherApps:Yes]. And I print [[NSApplication sharedApplication] orderedWindows];

I found, if the first window closed, the orderedWindows will be only the second Window.

But if the first window is still open, even if I had made the second window be key and main, but the orderedWindows will be {firstWindow, secondWindow}

But I want the second window be the front the one.

I also make the secondWindow do like this:

  [captureWindow setLevel:NSStatusWindowLevel + 2];
  [captureWindow setReleasedWhenClosed:YES];
  [captureWindow setAcceptsMouseMovedEvents:YES];
  [captureWindow setMovableByWindowBackground:NO];
  [captureWindow makeKeyAndOrderFront:self];
  [captureWindow orderFrontRegardless];
  [captureWindow orderFront:self];
  [captureWindow makeKeyWindow];
  [captureWindow makeMainWindow];
  [NSApp activateIgnoringOtherApps:YES];

But when [NSApp activateIgnoringOtherApps:YES]; once executed, if the first window is still on screen, then the windowOrdered will be {firstWindow, secondWindow}, so I thinks the orderFront is not worked?

Neither "key" nor "main" is related to ordering. If you want to make a window ordered front, then the method is [NSWindow orderFront:]. There is a convenience method that is often used to do both: [NSWindow makeKeyAndOrderFront:].
