Describe the bug

Greetings, I've noticed that the "All Programs" list is not in complete alphabetical order, and I don't know which setting rearranges them all in one alphabetical order list. It's almost as if there's two alphabetical lists. There's single program items, and then folders in alphabetical order, and then after "Zoom" there's "Apps" and then more single items, and then another list of alphabetical ordered Program folders.

Also the "Help..." link on the settings window at the top right doesn't do anything.

Area of issue

Start menu

To reproduce

  1. Install Windows 10 22H2
  2. Install all the programs you like
  3. Use the AME program from https://Ameliorated.io to Ameliorate Windows
  4. Install OpenShell
  5. Install more programs
  6. Then open the OpenShell menu and click on "All Programs"
  7. Scroll through and notice two alphabetical lists.

Expected behavior

One single alphabetical list in All Programs.

Open-Shell version

4.4.195

Windows version

Windows 10 Pro 22H2 | 19045.3758

Additional context

Have AME installed, and OpenShell was recommended by them.

Thank you, Shalom.

You can right-click on any item in All Programs list and select Sort by Name.
That should sort the list.
Note that folders and single program items are sorted separately.

It opens Open-Shell's help for me without a problem.

Do you have OpenShell.chm in the folder where Open-Shell is installed?
Does it open when you double-click on it?

You can right-click on any item in All Programs list and select Sort by Name. That should sort the list. Note that folders and single program items are sorted separately.

This should be on by default, and default should be "Auto Arrange" for All programs and for Applications folder, at minimum.

On every OpenShell install I have to click this manually. And this behavior is since it was called ClassicShell.
