I believe that you are reproducing the bug in your screenshot, it is showing
the exact sort order that I described with all submenus in alpha order on top
and all applications that are not in submenus beneath. You don't have any
separators in that category, so they are not present. Your manual sort order
might be similar to this arrangement already so it is not noticeable.

I have attached two screenshot attachments, one showing the sort order with
"sort applications alphabetically" disabled and another with it enabled. In
mine, I have my applications not in a submenu first, then a separator, then a
submenu. The issue becomes more noticeable when my manual sort order is
different from what winds up happening.

Like I said, I am not sure what the correct way to deal with this issue is
because it partially comes down to personal preference, but I don't think all
separators going to the top is correct.

I have also since reproduced this issue on two other machines, both running the
exact same software load out as described in my OP.
