I'm attempted to create a an action menu item, something I have done now quite a few times.

I now have a need to have the items show up at the very bottom of the action menu. Screenshots attached.

There is a property that these have called the "Sort Order". This unfortunately only appears to sort them within this top menu above "Show Shapesheet". You can see how my properties are set in the second screenshot.

If it possible to put custom menu items at the bottom of this Action Menu?

As far as I know, this is not an option...not by shapesheet, not by code.

FWIW...you could build a new menu using
A) VBA using shapedata or other for persistance
B) or shapedata thru shapesheet (a bit tricky but possible).

This new menu would have nothing to do with the "right click" menu

Thanks for the feedback guys. I'm looking for a native solution and "Not Possible" is perfectly acceptable.

Thanks,

Just put a % in front of the menu text!

So: "%Mark for Delete"

I do this all the time for my own "developer features", like "Debug", which I use for things like displaying all subshapes that might be otherwise hidden by logic.

Well shiver me timbers! That's pretty cool.  And the "&" underlines the next character.  I did know that "_" inserts a line to separate the entries.

Are there any other secret handshakes?
