Considering it's just modifying that 1 file is all it's needed, I would guess a decent developer can easily create a small app for managing the Menus... I'm no developer unfortunately.. =(

You can add folders an rearrange the icons application launcher by editing the file /etc/xdg/menus/hildon.menu. The <Filename>'s in the Include section set the icons to display, so you can rearrange them or remove the ones you don't want. Adding more Menu sections will add folders (the one there represents the More..). Replace the OnlyUnallocated/ and All/ with a list of Filenames for the apps you want in the folder (see the files in /usr/share/applications/hildon).

Some .desktop and .directory files in /usr/share/applications/hildon have a X-Osso-User-Position which does have some affect on the order, but indeed, there seem to be some arbitrary restrictions on the order. It seems to be: Original icons, then folders and then new icons. This is defined in the program itself. I will release a binary of hildon-desktop without this arbitrary order, if people are interested.

See instructions here for replacing hildon-desktop:
http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=38314
(no need for following the dbus-scripts instructions, if you are not intereseted in keyboard operation).
The order in hildon.menu is still ignored. The way to set the order is to add a X-Osso-User-Position= line in .desktop and .directory files. Smaller numbers appear first.

Every time I create a new <menu> entry, it shows up as "More...".
Is there a way to change the "More" folder icon to my own title?
(Such as Games, Stuff, Apps etc)

In every menu section there is a line <Name>. Make sure it is different for each menu section. There is also a line <Directory>. Change the name. The original is applications.directory. In a menu I created I changed to my.directory (for example). Then I copied the file /usr/share/applications/hildon/applications.directory to the file /usr/share/applications/hildon/my.directory. Then in this text file I changed the fields Name= and Icon=.

Matan, can you report a bug, please?
I don't have my phone yet, so all you said i can only imagine right now.
That kind of a feature shouldn't be in a separate app, it should be implemented in the OS.
Thank you.

I don't think it's a bug - If you want a GUI, use iPhone. This is Linux.
