Does anyone know of an edit or software that will sort the context menu in alphabetical order?

AskWoody MVPDecember 14, 2022 at 8:20 am #2508607The are a few at 15 Best Context Menu Editors For Windows 10 in 2021 (techpout.com). Check them out. I think at least one lets you manually reorder the context menu.

AskWoody_MVPDecember 14, 2022 at 9:45 am #2508633You may find 3rd party software to add, remove, or sectionalize the context menu; but you will not find one that alphabetizes the entries. Why? The context menu contents differs upon where you engage it (Desktop, file, Word document). The Context menu is “built” by Windows from different sources (Registry, an app, etc.) for the item you engage the context menu for. This collection of context items once built is not viewed as a whole entity which prevents rearranging the items in alphabetic order. The best you can do with these 3rd party apps for rearrangement is to sectionalize (one section for each source ) the context menu items.
HTH, Dana:))
