--- Comment #10 from Nick Levinson <Nick_Levinson@yahoo.com> ---
I attached a .png combination of screenshots of the whole menu, with an overlap
of only one menu item per original screenshot, from my platform, described
above.

If menu item sequences differ according to OS or desktop environment, it would
probably be clearer if one sequence were enforced for all installations, or if
one sequence were the default for all OSes and DEs, and other sequences could
be chosen as options.

Solutions I like (I don't know enough about implementation problems to suggest
workarounds): Add labels to tell users how it's sorted. Put a label above each
group of menu items that should form a group. Make each label visually distinct
from nonlabels. The visual distinction can be perhaps by dimming a label as a
noncommand or perhaps by putting dashes in front of it and having it do nothing
if selected or show a generic message if selected or perhaps by some other way.
My menu (seen in the screeenshot) begins with a lot of blank lines; if that's
not an anomaly for my installation, perhaps move some blank lines down to
separate the groups, although that could make the menu look broken and it
wouldn't explain the grouping. Or, add menu items only near the beginning to
explain how the rest of the list is organized.
