Ah, you meant the application launcher.  To configure that, you have to 
"unlock widgets" first and only then right click on it.  Extremely weird 
design decision.  But don't get your hopes up: the configuration options 
are extremely limited for the launcher and don't include sorting options :-P

That's the long bar to the right that shows the currently running 
applications.

All of those (app launcher, task manager, systray, clock, etc) are 
actually "widgets" and run inside a "panel".  To configure them, you 
always need to "unlock widgets" first or else you don't get all options 
when you right click on something.  Again, that's just weird.  When you 
apply common sense, "Unlock" means "free to move around".  We should 
still be able to configure them even when locked.
