Sort Menus Alphabetically

Even if it is not the menus on the main menu. But I would at least like the ability to sort sub-menu items alphabetically.

RE: Sort Menus Alphabetically

Call it flawed or not, but I don't think it's possible with a single mouseclick. You should do that manually with kmenuedit.

They appear unsorted when I run kmenuedit as the user. So are you saying that I have to do it manually there?

Yes, that's the only thing I can think of.

It's a solution. But a less than optimal one.

It doesn't bother so much that I need it that way. But it would be nice to hace the option. I dual boot with Ubuntu so it's one of the nice things I picked up that gnome has and kde doesn't. The gnome menus (when an item is added) seems to be alphabetical. Again I stress this is a minor point for me.

I'm not really sure about this, but I think that the K Menu is arranged alphabetically by default, unless you have manually changed it. But it is sorted alphabetically depending on the Menu item format chosen (Name only, Name-Description, Description-Name, Description only).

I haven't manually added any items. Totem is the only item I've added on this menu.

When you install new programs, they appear on top of the menu, instead of the position it would have got when it was ordered. After some time, it gets a bit messy.
