Extension context menu item order in 2021.8.1

Chris | Last updated: Aug 23, 2021 04:24PM UTC

I've just updated to 2021.8.1, and noticed that extension's context menus are now grouped under a sub menu per extension (ordered alphabetically, instead of the order extensions are loaded in). I have a couple of custom extensions which already had a single top-level sub menu, so now it the context menu goes: "Extension -> name -> menu -> options" Instead of "Extension -> menu -> options" The single "menu" item being redundant, and untidy. I modified one of the extensions to remove the "menu" level, which is fine, except that the sub menu items returned in a list by createMenuItems() are alphabetically sorted; this is despite List's being naturally ordered according to how items are added. This means that the options are showing out of order. So far I see two workarounds, neither of which are very good: 1: retain the redundant single sub-menu 2: name the menu items "1: do something", "2: do something else", etc. Is there a way to add context menu items for an extension and have Burp honour the order in which they are added, without resorting to using a redundant sub menu or horrible naming? Thanks
