Custom Toolbar Sort Order #3805

When using Explorer Patcher to create and pin a custom toolbar to the task bar (like we used to in Windows 10), you can re-organize the order of the items in the toolbar. In Windows 10, the order of items was always remembered when re-starting windows, but in Windows 11 running explorer patcher, the order of items seems to re-sort to alphabetically when windows is re-started or File Explorer is restarted. I use my custom toolbar as 1 click shortcuts to many applications and I like to maintain a sort order with most used items on top and the rest sorted by application type. Can the sort order of toolbar items be remembered after windows 11 restart with explorer patcher? Windows 11 Enterprise, 23H2, 22631.4169 Running Explorer Patcher version 22621.3880.66.6 I already changed to Windows 10 taskbar (ExplorerPatcher). image

You might want to consider True Launch Bar as an alternative. It's independent of Windows and can auto-sort its menus and sub-menus or not, at your whim, and of course remember them. It's capable of quite a few other tricks as well. It's freeware now.
