       I added the custom sorting to my debian menu configuration, it used
    to work but some time ago it stopped working.

       I have the following in the /etc/menu-methods/menu.h:

    # item first, submenu later:
    # sort=ifelse($command, "0", "1" ) ":$title"
    sort=ifelse($priority, $priority, "99")

       and here's an example of sorted menu entry:

    jojda:~> cat /etc/menu/xterm
    ?package(xterm):\
      needs=x11\
      section="/"\
      longtitle="Xterm: terminal emulator for X"\
      title=Xterm\
      priority="01"\
      command="xterm -fg green -bg black" \
      icon="/usr/X11R6/include/X11/pixmaps/wterm.xpm"

       any ideas why this does not work anymore (the xterm item is just
    alphabetically sorted, appears last instead of first).

       system:

         debian unstable
         unsorted menu in fvwm
         unsorted menu in pdmenu

       TIA
