sorting popup entries not alphbetically ? Thread last updated on 2005-10-11 04:57:10

hi all,
maybe it's asking too much from litestep, but is there a way to sort the entries in the popup menu un-alphabetically? of course i could rename the shortcuts like 01_word, 02_access and so on, but it's not very elegant...
i'm using xpopup 1.1.5

What part of the popup are you talking about? The shortcut folder or the Programs folder?

how else could you arrange them?

from the docs:
Custom Sorting in PopupFolders


Custom Item Sorting via User Modified Filenames
You can add [xx] before the Filename to enable sorting based on the 2-digit number (xx), the "[xx]" before the Filename won't be displayed.
These Files will be displayed first sorted with growing numbers.

[00]IrfanView.lnk -> IrfanView.lnk
[02]ZOrdertest.lnk -> ZOrdertest.lnk
[20]AdAware.lnk -> AdAware.lnk
Another.lnk
BasicFiles.lnk
...

thanks for your replies.
@DeViLbOi: i mean the programs folder, thus the items in c:\...\profiles\start menu\...
the other ones are sorted depending on the entries in popup.rc, i know.
thanks again.

I don't think there is a way that is truly useful, at this point. It is not beyond the realm of possibility, but would take a lot of work, and would not be RAM-friendly.
