Adding a menu entry re-orders the menu

Binary package hint: kmenuedit

By default, Kubuntu's menu displays items with 'Name (Description)', sorted alphabetically by Name. KMenuEdit seems hard-coded to 'Description (Name)', sorted alphabetically by description. When a user adds a new menu item, KMenuEdit saves the subfolder so that it is sorted alphabetically by description. Thus, the submenu in the kmenu is now rearranged alphabetically by description, even though it is displayed with 'Name (Description)', which makes it look as if it was rearranged randomly. Also related to this is the fact that the items in the menu editor appear to be sorted differently than they are in the kmenu by default.

KMenuEdit shouldn't enforce its own sorting and should use Kubuntu's default settings. (Or KMenuEdit should read the 'Menu Item Format' preference and display appropriately.)

Is there a way to tell KMenuEdit the way the menus are sorted by default so it doesn't reorder them?
