Example "Open with" dialog showing random/unclear order (52.08 KB, image/png)

Description Kalin Agrawal 2009-10-09 20:49:16 UTC 
Select a file
Right click > open with > open with other application

The dialog that comes up shows applications in an unspecified and unclear order.  To fix this, they should be ordered in alphabetical order OR should provide a way to order in different, user-specified ways.

The current ordering makes no sense to me and makes it difficult to find applications.
