If I internally associate 2 or more programs with a certain filetype, I can open a context menu containing those programs when specifying '*' as the 'open'-action.
I'd like to suggest a way to change the order of these context menu entries, e.g. by supporting drag'n'drop in the 'edit'-page of the internal associations-dialog.
Alternatively, up-/down arrows could be provided to move an entry, like it works in the custom columns-config dialog. This last way would require some space, but it would be more obvious to the user that he can move entries.
EDIT: The specified order should also be used in the regular right-click context menu of course.
I know that I can manually edit the INI-file to change the order, or delete and recreate entries, but that's a bit cumbersome.
So if it's no big effort to add this, It would be comfortable little addition IMO.

This is indeed planned. One problem is the default "Open" command, because it's not inside the listbox...

I hope you find a solution - It would really be a welcomed feature.

Hm, just a quick and rough thought:
Maybe the default 'open'-entry could be shown always at the top of the menu, because it is ...well... the default action. If nobody has a better idea, i could easily live with that solution. Being able to change the order of the 'non-default'-entries would suffice for me personally.
Another way would be to provide a possibility to move the default action into the lower list of actions and vice versa, but that could be a bit too much I think...
