Zorin Menu constants sorts

Hello there...
It's just a very, very little (I can't say issue), any way.
There is User Home directories in Zorin menu based on xdg-user-dirs-update, It changes name, but it doesn't change the sorting. It would be better if it changes sorting automatically as well.
For example: I changed my MUSIC folder to Audio, and it should be at the first row as Nautilus sorts it.

Anyway, I changed the sorting manually from the constants.js file from /usr/share/gnome-shell/extensions/zorin-menu.

I would have used Main Menu and dragged to new position. :wink:

But Main Menu just support applications not Places, or maybe do I missed them?

Oops, old age! Did find this:

Add Home Dir Folders to Menu

Adding Home Directory Folders to the Main Menu in Ubuntu 22.04

To add your home directory folders to the main menu in Ubuntu 22.04, you can use bookmarks or create custom links. Here are the steps:

  1. Bookmarks Method:
  • Navigate to the folder you want to add to the menu.
  • Press Ctrl+D to bookmark the folder.
  • The bookmark will be added to the “Bookmarks” menu in the Nautilus file manager.
  • Right-click on the bookmark and select “Add to Favorites” to move it to the main menu.
  1. Custom Links Method:
  • Create a .desktop file in your home directory (e.g., ~/Desktop) with a name that matches the folder you want to add (e.g., Univers.desktop).
  • Open the file in a text editor and add the following lines:
[Desktop Entry]
Version=1.0
Type=Directory
Path=/path/to/folder
Name=FOLDER_NAME
Icon=/path/to/icon
* Replace `/path/to/folder` with the actual path to the folder, `FOLDER_NAME` with the desired name, and `/path/to/icon` with the icon file (optional).
* Save the file.
* Log out and log back in or restart your system.
* The custom link should now appear in the main menu.

I really don't follow :grin:
I am talking about Zorin menu extension, how it shows the Places, It follows the renaming of the folders but doesn't follow the sorting by Nautilus sidebar, e.g, I change MUSIC folder to Audio, in the Nautilus sidebar it sorted in the first place, but in the Zorin Menu it remains as 6th place.
