Description Eugene Markow 2009-02-15 13:46:30 UTC
Version:            (using KDE 4.2.0)
Compiler:          gcc 4.3.3-1 
OS:                Linux
Installed from:    Unspecified Linux

Linux Distribution: Arch Linux
DE: KDE 4.2
Kernel: Linux Kernel Version 2.6.28.3

In KDE 4.2, when using the 'classic menu', I notice that most application names listed are not in alphabetical order, and there is no way to enable this in either ascending or descending order. Can an easy way to enable applications listed in alphabetical order be implemented?

Comment 2 Luc Menut 2009-02-22 18:40:30 UTC
In "classic menu" (simplelauncher), applications are always sorted by generic name, even if applications are displayed by "Name Description" (the default), "Name Only" or "Name - Description". So applications are not displayed correctly in alphabetical order in these cases.

The patch in attachment fixes this; applications are sorted by application name when applications are displayed by "name", "name description" or "name - description", and by generic name when applications are displayed by "description" or "description (name)".

regards,
Luc
