I right-click a package and want to tell it to sort the download order by File Size.

There's a "Sort Package(s) by Name" item and if I look in the Menu Manager I can add a "Sort package contents by Column" item but that strangely changes to "Sort package contents by Status" when added. Neither sounds like they do what I want.

I know I can sort *all* packages by File Size by right clicking a column header, but I'd like to be able to do this per package.

heck, why isn't there an option to add a menu item that sorts by any of the available columns? Why only Sort by Name and Sort by Column? Or is Column a placeholder and I can replace that with a manually typed in name of a column?

@Noodler128: The column is taken from current mouse position where you rightclick. Else we would have to add several actions, just to have different columns. Simply right click on package in size column and then you can sort the package by size.

The action text/name has an issue that once you customize the action via menu editor, the text is no longer dynamic and no longer reflecting the real column name that will be sorted after. So shown text will be the same but still sorting to correct/mouse position column

Interesting, that must be the issue I'm experiencing. Does the "Revert to Default" button revert every menu item to default or only the currently selected menu item? The popup message when clicking it doesn't clarify this.

Sadly neither yes or no.
I just tested it: The reset button next to the action name is supposed to only reset the name to the fitting one of the current lang string but ironically this only works if the current value is already the correct one
If it is another value, it gets reset to "<EMPTY>".

To properly "fix" all language entries of all actions, you need to reset the whole menu editor (yellow reset button in the bottom left menu).
This visual glitch has been present for a long time but so far none of us have worked on a fix.
EDIT

Maybe create a backup and then just play around with it.
