When I select the menu entry "Open recent" (in French "Ouvrir l'élément récent") I get a long list of files that are probably in the order of last opening time, so I spent time searching in the list to find a file. How can I display that list in alphabetical order, as is the case, e.g., in BBEdit ?
This is not a bug. It is just as it is. T he Open With menu it provided by the system, not by our code; so it is just standard for document based apps. There is no way to change the order. I have no idea what BBEdit does, but it does not look like a standard mac document based app, with completely custom menus (like this one). We certainly will not go there.
