Hello Vaclav,
I checked the code and I found that if the configuration item 'sort' is set then the variable $sort is ignored. The conclusion is that the documentation is correct but menu.h should be changed as you suggest: sort=$sort ":" tolower(title()) to reenable $sort. I have applied your patch.
