Well, the order is defined by the order in which the actions are added
to the group. I don't think anybody wants to see radio-buttons or such
stuff on context menus (as thats what a actiongroup seems to be meant
for). So adding a separator at a specific position in will work.

OTOH we could add our own QAction group subclass which could wrap a
standard QAction and provide a plugin-name and an ordering number. So
when building a context menu we can group stuff from the same plugin and
order it using the number.
