copied from https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/636839

a left click on the nm icon will show wifi networks in alphabetical order. I think that could be improved. I'd like to suggest to reorder this to

1) networks the user has successfully (!) connected to in the past
2) open networks (no WEP/WAP)
3) protected networks

network-manager is version 0.8-0ubuntu3

copied text:

The menu that appears when left clicking the network applet icon in the bar at top does not sort the found WLAN network by signal strength/power.

So it happens that the AP in my room is not listed in the menu, but only in the Other networks submenu, even it of has the strongest signal.

> in the Other networks submenu

The sub-menu name is actually "More networks"

So now we have:

 - Anet
 - Bnet
 - Cnet
 - DonnieWLAN
 - Exxx

And the the rest under "More networks":
 - Golf
 - Lima
 - Sugar
 - ...

This division makes no sense.

bugzilla.gnome.org is being shut down in favor of a GitLab instance. 
We are closing all old bug reports and feature requests in GNOME Bugzilla which have not seen updates for a long time.

If you still use NetworkManager and if you still see this bug / want this feature in a recent and supported version of NetworkManager, then please feel free to report it at https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/NetworkManager/NetworkManager/-/issues/

Thank you for creating this report and we are sorry it could not be implemented (workforce and time is unfortunately limited).
