Currently menu order is:-
Scripts
Weather
Pictures
Video
Music
Programs
System
Shoudn't it be ordered as ( Most used first ):
Video
Music
Pictures
Weather
Programs
Scripts
System
Also would it be better if under Programs we have submenu Scripts ?
The normal XBMC log IS NOT a debug log, to enable debug logging you must toggle it on under XBMC Settings - System or in advancedsettings.xml. Use
XBMC Debug Log Addon to retrieve it.

It is. The focused item is the middle, thus we fan out left and right from the most used.

Perhaps a feature in which you can set the order yourself

it would also be nice if the main/sub options where alpha sorted

ooh ooh, I know, order it numerically based on the doubled 2nd decimal place of the square root of the numerical sum of all the letters of the menu item

Personally, I think the way it's ordered right now makes the most sense. The downside to ordering it how you want, CrashX, is that it takes more clicks to get down to system, scripts or programs. I think it's nice to have the Home menu have a centered feel to it (so 3 clicks to the top or 3 to the bottom).
rwparris2 - I think you have a good idea there, and maybe I'm just nitpicking, but wouldn't it make more sense to just use every other letter of each menu item as opposed to all of them in your numerical summation? I think the added gain in resolution from using each letter won't be worth the trade-off of the required additional computations.
