I need to Sort [alphabetically] the Application Launcher Menu (widget)

[Peter Williams]

I press Alt-F2 and type xterm. This is a copy of my session (below my

No sign of kwrite or kcontrol command. Also, no kcontrol.desktop file?!?

What is the suggested next thing I should do?!?

Best Wishes & Happy Computing,
