    How to determine the order of plugin menu entries displayed in Automate menu?

      I found in Plug-in Resource Guide.pdf:

      -----------------------------

      Plug-in load order. Also used to control
      the order in which items with the same
      name show up in menus.
      Lower numbers (including negative
      ones) load first. If NULL, the default is
      zero.

      -----------------------------

       

      Now I have some plugins, but I saw that under the same Category, the menu items are showed by Lexicographic Order (A:up Z:down), but not by their Priority Properties. Also, each category is arranged by Lexicographic Order of suite name. It means, If I change the plugin names to other language, the order will be different, that's inconvenient for the users. What could I do to get a fixed order? Any idea will be appreciated.
