Describe the feature request

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
I would like to be able to change the order of the actions available from the righ-click menu.

Why do you need this feature?
As I am getting more actions in the menu, it is getting more difficult to find the one I am looking for.

Describe the solution you'd like

The solution you'd like
I would like to be able to move the actions up and down in the list of actions, so that the order is also reflected in the menu.

Alternatives you've considered
I could delete them all and add them again manually, but that is clearly not practical.

Anything else?

Thank you.
I understand that this update automatically sorts the actions by alphabetic order of the Menu Label, is that correct?
I am using emojis in front of each Menu Label, so the alphabetic order is not working for me.
Would it still be possible to consider adding a manual ordering option?

You can use like 1👍-xxx, 2👑-yyy. Sorting by alphabetic order is the most simple way to implement.

We can have a manual ordering, but I don't think most of our users would actually use that. More options brings much higher learning costs.

Ok, thank you

Would it be possible to use the Name field to sort instead of the Menu Label field?
In that way, I can freely reorganize the actions, without affecting the information displayed in the menu.
Using the numbering method on the Name field would be more intuitive, as it appears on the left side of each action in the settings.

Also, for display purposes in the settings, it seems that the table reacts when I click on the title of each column.
So sorting by the first column by default may be possible to do, so that it reflects the order in the menu?
[It is just a remark in case this is easy to implement. I understand this is not so important.]

Supported in the latest prerelease.

You'll need to go to settings and change menu -> sort by.

Perfect! Thank you very much!
