[Bug 48154] Adding a menu entry re-orders the menu

[VF]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: kmenuedit

By default, Kubuntu's menu displays items with 'Name (Description)',
sorted alphabetically by Name. KMenuEdit seems hard-coded to
'Description (Name)', sorted alphabetically by description. When a user
adds a new menu item, KMenuEdit saves the subfolder so that it is sorted
alphabetically by description. Thus, the submenu in the kmenu is now
rearranged alphabetically by description, even though it is displayed
with 'Name (Description)', which makes it look as if it was rearranged
randomly. Also related to this is the fact that the items in the menu
editor appear to be sorted differently than they are in the kmenu by
default.

KMenuEdit shouldn't enforce its own sorting and should use Kubuntu's
default settings. (Or KMenuEdit should read the 'Menu Item Format'
preference and display appropriately.)

Is there a way to tell KMenuEdit the way the menus are sorted by default
so it doesn't reorder them?

** Affects: kdebase (Ubuntu)
       Severity: Normal
       Priority: (none set)
         Status: Unconfirmed
