           Summary: Please Make It Possible To Sort Icons In The Kmenu
                    Alphabetically By Either Name or Description

            Status: UNCONFIRMED

Version:            (using KDE 4.0.2)
Installed from:    Ubuntu Packages
OS:                Linux

I'm actually using KDE 4.0.3 but I didn't see that option.

Anyway, when I install KDE4, I have to use kmenuedit to manually sort my icons by name.

I think it would be alot better if you could make it so you can choose to have KDE automatically sort the icons in the kmenu, and have a choice to sort them alphabetically by Description or Name.

There could be a setting in System Settings where you can go to choose to display the Name or Description of an icon first, and automatically sort it alphabetically by name or description.

For example, for Konqueror you can choose to have it show the name first like this:

Konqueror
Web Browser

Or you can have it show the description first:

Web Browser
Konqueror

And then there could be a check box to let KDE automatically keep your menu alphabetized.

This would make things alot easier for me and I'm sure others could benefit too.
