Hi there I have written some bash scripts that help me with working with PDFs. For that I created quite a few entries in the service menus for Dolphin: https://github.com/sjau/pdfForts/blob/master/servicemenu.png The problem is, the order of the items seems to be totally random and they keep changing when you change things. I tested it in a freshly setup Kubuntu 17.04 VM. Kleopatra is installed as default. When I click on the "Home" folder on the desktop, I get this order: https://images.sjau.ch/img/0dfe39be.png but when I dive into the folder and view the entries for the desktop folder I get this: https://images.sjau.ch/img/5cce2bf4.png As you can see, while nothing in the system changed, the order did change. I think that's not good design.
Does https://forum.kde.org/viewtopic.php?f=224&t=126624 work? It is a bit unclear if we lost the "InitialPreference" key while porting to KF5.

Facing the same issue as the reporter, I'm trying to add/change the InitialPreference config option in the desktop files I have. I'll try to look at the "Actions" menu after a few logins in order to see if anything changes. However that does not change the fact that distribution-provided desktop files that are not stored in ~/.local/share/kservices5/ServiceMenus/ do not have that option (or if so, it isn't taken into account). Wouldn't it be good to have these actions automatically listed in alphabetical order ? That would eliminate the need for the InitialPreference option... Thank you.
After having tested the use of the InitialPreference option in the services .desktop files, I can confirm that it has no impact on the order of the associated menu entries. Regards.

Works partially for me. New entries can be placed at first, but the other (distribution default) menu entries are still ordered randomly.
