+I have never complained about that *very* *annoying* feature.  And I am 
+sure many others annoyed by it haven't complained in a forum.
+Having a nice stable easily accessible menu, in alphabetical order works 
+best for me.
+(If there are too many items for one column in the menu page, 
+automatically add a parallel column, as used to be the case.)
+If someone wants that cache-cache behavior, at least it should be an 
+option, and not fixed.  (e.g,, as in Microsoft windows, where 
+cache-cache is the default, but it can be disabled with a readily 
+accessible option.)
+Sure, you can always rearrange the menu, but when eventually the 
+application is uninstalled, the changes will remain in the menu. Another 
+unnecessary nuisance.
+
+my 2 cents :)
