Yes. It did not make any difference (see diff):

Anyway that would be wrong place to do it. This sorting happens (if ever) when 
menus are generated; even if it using locale and translated titles (does it?) 
there is no reason to believe, user locale will be the same when he will 
*use* those menus. Just switching from Russian to English would completely 
break sort order again.

I do not speak about all possible window managers. My concern is actually XDG 
menus. For them the only thing that needs be changed is to conditionally not 
emit <Layout> tags and let XDG code deal with sorting locally merged menus.

Sans bug with inlined menus :)
