How can I change the order of icons in the Ubuntu application menu?

Question

linux

Hello, the question is not difficult, how can I change the order of applications in the main menu of applications? For example, the order of folders or the order of applications in the folders themselves?


Changed: I understood that this needs to be done through dconfig, but searching for the keywords did not find anything, could someone who has already done this throw off the address of this setting?

Answer 1

They wrote to you above, but they mixed it up a bit...
dconfig or gconfig - probably meant dconf-editor and gconf-editor (the latter was used in older versions of Ubuntu...).
Yes, these graphical utilities are nothing more than GUI versions of the gsettings console utility, and yes, it can do everything - almost any system settings!
You just need to know the config path.

Answer 2

dconfig or gconfig
there "there is Google through a search
, the point is that ,desktop files can be called 1.desktop-5.desktop,
they will be displayed by the system in alphabetical order,
but these files contain the line
name=NAME of the program
if the system sorts files by their name,
then you should change the file name from 1.desktop to 2.desktop
if it reads / arranges files according to what is written in name = ***, of the .desktop file, then change the names there
as the easiest option = try renaming the links /shortcuts/desktop files
I don’t understand dwarf, as for me = this is some kind of G,
maybe it’s convenient on mobile phones,
but on a hospital, such a desktop/interface = infuriates
