--- Comment #13 from afedotov...@outlook.com ---
I think, if an option is to be added, that it should be to opt-in to this
forced alphabetical order, not opt-out, and that the option should be in
KMenuEdit, not specific to this launcher. The point of KMenuEdit is to refrain
from configuring application orders for each launcher, and making Kickoff
negate this by default does not make sense to me. In an effort to make things
"simpler", the implementation has made the launcher more complicated.
If the user desires an alphabetical order in Kickoff, there is already a
perfectly fine way to sort applications alphabetically in KMenuEdit... and this
way, no one is forcing anything on anyone, instead keeping things configurable,
as KDE should be. However, I acknowledge that newly installed applications are
added at the to the top of the categories even when they have been sorted in
this manner. May I suggest moving this option to KMenuEdit? The option would
continue to move the application's entry into its respective place in the
alphabetical order. There are two advantages to this. The menu order would be
consistent across launchers by default again. Second, this option would be
found in the place they expect; in KMenuEdit where people are used to going to
configure their menu order.
If yall are concerned about overwhelming new users with subcategories and
application order, then maybe a better way would be to set new defaults for
KMenuEdit? This option I mentioned previously to force alphabetical order, and
a removal of subcategories by default?
