How to sort or arrange Taskbar Custom Filtered folder menu

Start11

from Stardock Forums

I have pinned a custom filtered folder menu to my task bar, using regex include / exclude to get the items I need in the menu, so it looks like this.

Due to my regex include / exclude settings, the menu has 4 folders, and 4 shortcuts to apps (.lnk files) and 2 shortcuts to other folders.

Is there any way to customise the order of these - I need folders (including shortcuts to folders) at the top, and shortcuts to apps at the bottom. I'd  also like to customise the order of the app shortcuts so they are not alphabetically sorted.

The only (partial) workaround I've found is to rename the folder shortcuts so they appear above app shortcuts. (eg Renaming "PI Today" to "_PI Today"

Since this is essentially pinning a Windows native component (Windows Explorer), it would adhere to its sorting, in this case, alphabetical.  Your method to rename the folders \ file to achieve the sort would be proper but I can log it to at least respect the current sorting of the folder pinned (by size for example).
