Sort order of the scripts very strange.

Created attachment 340315 [details] Screenshot Hello, I have no problems with the sort order of files and directory, but the scripts are sorted in inverse way from the configuration. For better explain, I have nautilus configured with folders first and sort by name in crescend, the scripts in the menu ignore files and directory and the order is inverted. I attach a screenshot, is better than my english :) Thanks in advance. Best regards. Marco.
wow lot of scripts :) Right we don't take into account the current sorting preference, we might be do that but that would change the ordering every time, and could be confusing. Not sure what good approach we could offer for the ordering of the scripts folder... We could special case it and save the ordering of the scripts forlder in the metadata and take that into account. It might be too obscure though. Worth asking designers.
I use Nautilus Scripts more heavily than Marco, and therefore I find this new bug - although not critical - more annoying I guess ;-) Before Nautilus 3.20 (which came with Ubuntu 16.10) all folders and files were sorted in normal alphabetical order (and folders and files were mixed, unlike the normal "folders first" option used by default, which is a good idea for this special folder). But with Nautilus 3.20 this order have been simply reversed upside done, and I can't see a way to change this (probably hard-coded). So I ask the developers/designers to either switch back to the previous state or - better still - make Nautilus simply follow the users choice made when they "Open Scripts Folder" if they feel they must make some change, any change here ;-) Thenks for all the valuable work that makes Nautilus my number 1 file manager (in spite of losing that dual-pane feature, which I miss a lot ;-)

Created attachment 350188 [details] [review] ui-utilities: Fix menu merge when prepending We were prepending the items but in regular order, instead of inverse to preserve the order. To fix it the patch invert the order of the items when prepending.
