            Bug ID: 124459
           Summary: Inconsistent menu ordering between Writer and Calc
           Product: LibreOffice
           Version: 6.2.2.2 release
          Hardware: All
                OS: Linux (All)
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: trivial
          Priority: medium
         Component: LibreOffice
          Assignee: libreoffice-bugs at lists.freedesktop.org
          Reporter: max at maxbarry.com

Description:
The "File" menu of Writer and Calc list the same items, but swap their order,
which constantly thwarts the user's muscle memory, causing mis-clicks.

In Writer -> File:
1. New
2. Open
3. Recent Documents
4. Open Remote File
5. Close

In Calc -> File
1. New
2. Open
3. Open Remote File
4. Recent Documents
5. Close

I always use the keyboard combo: Alt+F, Down arrow, Down arrow, Enter, to
quickly access Recent Documents, but this bug means I need to stop and think
each time whether I'm in Writer or Calc and therefore whether I need to hit
Down twice or three times.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open Writer
2. Activate "File" menu
3. Observe order of "Recent Documents" and "Open Remote File"
4. Open Calc
5. Activate "File" menu
6. Observe order of "Recent Documents" and "Open Remote File"

Actual Results:
Order of "Recent Documents" and "Open Remote File" is reversed in Calc compared
to Writer.

Expected Results:
Order of menu items should be consistent.


Reproducible: Always


User Profile Reset: No



Additional Info:
(Just personally, I like having "Recent Documents" as close to the top as
possible, since I use that all the time and reach it via keyboard navigation. I
never use "Open Remote File.")
