I noticed that the contents of Configuration are now in alphabetical order, not matching the order of admin/config.

The addition of admin_menu_element_sort() in http://drupalcode.org/project/admin_menu.git/commit/441f7139 seems to be the cause. Reverting to before that commit has the sub menus in the correct order (but things like Tasks, Add Content, and Index are wrong, which I guess was the reason for the commit.

I'm not sure if this is really a bug, but I wanted you to be aware of the change.

That's explicitly done:

function admin_menu_admin_menu_output_build(&$content) {
  // Unassign weights for categories below Configuration.
  // An alphabetical order is more natural for a dropdown menu.
  if ($content['menu']['admin/config']) {
    foreach (element_children($content['menu']['admin/config']) as $key) {
      $content['menu']['admin/config'][$key]['#weight_original'] = $content['menu']['admin/config'][$key]['#weight'];
      unset($content['menu']['admin/config'][$key]['#weight']);
    }
  }

I only opened this because I'm really used to People being the first item under Configuration, and I was really confused when it wasn't.

I'd prefer the old behavior (at least optionally), but if you disagree feel free to mark "works as designed".

I believe that the random order is just some weirdness you got used to, but every new user actually thinks "huh? how on earth are these categories sorted?" ;)

I discovered that issue after finally fixing the "empty category" problem. So when you switch to a different user, you only see non-empty categories.

Now. Switch from that user to another that has access to slightly more, and you suddenly see categories being added to the top and the bottom in no particular order. At that point, it turns into a bug, as you'll have a hard time to find a particular category.

Leaving this open for now.

In one week I got over it. You're right as always!
