I can see there is some confusion due to the wording of my original
message.  I did not mean that the menu would be reordered.  I meant that if
you press a mouse button to pop-up a menu and selected the third item, the
next time you popped-up the same menu the mouse pointer would be on the
third item.  Thus the last selection is remembered and can be reselected
without looking at the menu by just clicking the mouse button.
