Menu item order in the System Navigator

By default, menu items in the Service Manager System Navigator are displayed in ascending alphabetical order. You can disable this option so that menu items are displayed in the order in which they arrive from the server. Additionally, system administrators can group menu items to make it easier for end users to navigate within the system.

In the web client, the alphabetical sorting of System Navigator menu items is defined by the sortNavItems parameter in the web.xml file. The default is "true" (enabled).

In the Windows client, the alphabetical sorting of System Navigator menu items is defined by the "Sort menu items alphabetically in the System Navigator" option. To configure this option, click Window > Preferences > Service Manager > Appearance.
