            Bug ID: 307305
          Severity: wishlist
           Version: 4.9.1
          Priority: NOR
                CC: chanika@gmail.com
          Assignee: plasma-bugs@kde.org
           Summary: Arrange items on desktop in Search and Launch activity
    Classification: Unclassified
                OS: Linux
          Reporter: franklin@goodhorse.idv.tw
          Hardware: Other
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
         Component: activities
           Product: plasma

In the SaL activity we can choose which categories will show on the desktop. 
But it seems that we don't have any way to change the order on the desktop.

For example, I'd like to make the first category, in the upper-left corner, be
Office instead of Internet.  Currently I've searched on google and KDE user or
techbase wiki but can't find a way to change the order, 

To find out the solution, I tried to edit the plasma init scripts 
(/usr/share/kde4/apps/plasma-desktop/init/00-defaultLayout.js)  to create an
SaL activity and assigned the categories I wanted to show in EnabledEntries
options, with the order I want.  However, when creating a user and a whole new
kde plasma-desktop-appletsrc file, the EnabledEntries was written into it but
the categories shown in the desktop were still the very default ones -
bookmarks, contacts, and some other categories.

Also, in the EnabledEntries option, some categories used desktop file like
plasma-sal-office.desktop and some used a name I assigned in my XDG menus file
like SoundVideo/ .  Why didn't it just honor the categories defined in the
applications menu file like kde4-applications.menu in /etc/xdg/menus and the
customized menu files in the home directory, but used another desktop instead?

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Try to modify the order of EnabledEntries in
plasma-desktop/init/00-defaultLayout.js
2.
3.
Actual Results:  
It still showed the default items with default order

Expected Results:  
Shows the items and follow the order I specify
