Hi, I've noticed that some programs show up in a weird order when I run the launcher, and after some testing I realized it was due to the filename of the .desktop file.
"Bulk Rename" is named thunar-bulk-rename.desktop, but if I rename it to something like bulk-rename, then it moves up to the top with apps like btop.
Is there a way to fix this? I was trying to get them in the right order while hiding apps I didn't want to see, but since files in .local/share/applications show on the top of the list, if I only copy a few programs and rename them, then I get two lists next to each other, the list from .local and the list from /usr/share/applications (and other places too, for example Anki is in /usr/local/share/applications.)
What is the best way to go about applying my desired edits to .desktop files (correct order, naming, comments, hidden status, etc) without causing more issues?
Thanks in advance.
