Sorting of menus in plone.app.contentmenu

[ajung]

Right now it appears that the menu items of the drop down don't have any particular order. Especially the "Add" drop down is a mess when you have a longer lists of content-types - means the editor does not find the things directly based on alphabetic ordering.

I suggest that the menu items should be sorted based on the translated 'title' of the menu items.

What do you think?

I think it makes sense for the add menu (frankly I'm surprised that's
not working because I think it's supposed to), but I don't think it
necessarily does for other menus. Each menu should get to decide the
order of its items.

The add menu is already sorted by the translated title, see
https://github.com/plone/plone.app.contentmenu/
blob/master/plone/app/contentmenu/menu.py#L484

which calls

https://github.com/plone/plone.app.content/
blob/master/plone/app/content/browser/folderfactories.py#L112.

That's been the case for a number of years IIRC.

P.S. Sorry for the crappy formatting, gmane web view insist on 80 chars max per
line :(

hm....wild...look at the screenshots. Both come from the same Plone site.
There are two language trees /en and /de. The site language is set to German.
The add-on menu for /de is sorted while the one for /en is sorted by the original english portal_type (but displayed in English).

A small addition: at least one one of the Plone 4.0.x sites we run with
several languages in place (msc.org), the Add menu is ordered by the
translated title (EN is shown for untranslated types, in the correct
place). So it worked back then at least.

We're updating the Plone version soon so I'll keep an eye out to see if
this breaks.

Mike.
