See below. BTW, what GNOME does is not relevant to me. I think their
implementation sucks (internally), so I prefere to concentrate on the
specification itself.

I don't know how they do this, but the spec only mentions alphabetical
order in relation to menu layouts (which have not been implemented in
FrapMenu yet).
