Hi.

Is it possible to order the favorites section in Brisk Menu to be in alphabetical order?

Thanks.

One thing to try is to click-hold and then drag them around in the list. This tact works with my browser tabs when I wish to shuffle them.

Hi rtmistler. Alas, no. That was one of the first things I tried.

Hi jsbjsb001. I already used dconf editor to toggle some of the other settings like hover to select, dark theme, etc. I was wary of messing around with too many options there. I'm surprised there's no GUI right click and sort a-z like in the Whisker menu. Manually rearranging the favorites in dconf is cumbersome.

I ordered them like so and can keep this template (note there's a space after each comma) if I get new favorites, that way it'd be easier to sort:

Code:

['0ad.desktop', 
'caja-browser.desktop', 
'clementine.desktop', 
'grsync.desktop', 
'hplip.desktop', 
'mate-display-properties.desktop', 
'mate-screenshot.desktop', 
'mednaffe.desktop', 
'PlayOnLinux.desktop', 
'synaptic.desktop']

The finished product:

Code:

['0ad.desktop', 'caja-browser.desktop', 'clementine.desktop', 'grsync.desktop', 'hplip.desktop', 'mate-display-properties.desktop', 'mate-screenshot.desktop', 'mednaffe.desktop', 'PlayOnLinux.desktop', 'synaptic.desktop']
