Windows 10: Apps Menu Sorting

I decided to create a folder in the apps menu for all of my games. I moved all of my game shortcuts from my desktop into the new Games folder I discovered that if there was already an entry for a game in another folder that the new entry would not be displayed. This is not just be title but by the target of the shortcut.

That's all well and good but now I'm puzzled by the order in which the entries are displayed. I would have thought that they would be sorted alphabetically but they are not. Notice that "Crysis 1" is between "Origin" and "Steam."



Any thoughts on how to make the system sort them by name?

How to sort apps in start menu?

2017 is ending and apparentely it is still not possible, which sucks big time.

I'm in IT and I need to get multiple recovery and testing apps and to try multiple applications and the infinite alphabetical listing is useless. I can't possibly remember the names of all applications I keep on my computer and I need to group them by use.
Even worse, some systems will end up with several entries spread out on the menu (FreeFileSynch).

The tile system in the start menu is no help either since it takes so much space.

Windows is fast becoming a toy OS.

Thank you for quick answers. I am referring to all apps. To bad that is not possible because in win 8.1 it was. I hope they will make it possible in one of the future updates. Thank you!

 

Yeah, Crysis1 seems to be an oddball. There must be something else to it. Maybe you want to have a closer look. Else everything seems OK.

 

Hi whs. I tried appending an "A" in front of it, I tried changing the name to XXXX; all with no change in the order. Hmmm, very strange. Maybe I'll see if I can find where this list is kept in the registry. Lets hope some else has an idea.
