Default ordering of webapps titles in main menu

[Jacques Le Roux <ja...@les7arts.com>]

Hi,

In dev ML, we discussed the change of "default ordering of webapps titles" in main menu: https://markmail.org/message/ftgfpwztflty7klb

I started the implementation with https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/OFBIZ-12166. It's already used in trunk demo.

I now want to discuss that more openly in user ML because obviously we are all concerned.

One thing can't be achieved using the position webapp attribute: the position of webtools. Because it is secondary. I changed that too.

If you don't agree with these changes please let us know, why, and what you propose else. Beware: bikeshedding will not be accepted :)

Thanks

Jacques
