		+	'''Rearrange Order of Menu Items'''
		+
		+	This is a fantastic patch that makes the launcher much more useful (along with the 4x4 icon patches), but I kept hitting Delete Page because it was second on the list when I was trying to List Apps. Then, the page that I was currently on would be deleted and I would have to go back through and move all the icons to a new page - frustrating for me. Therefore, I simply rearranged the order of the menu items to what was more intuitive for me. This is a small change to this great patch, and does not add or subtract any functionality.

		+
		+	sudo -i
		+	//enter password to become root
		+
		+	cd /
		+
		+	mount -o remount,rw /
		+
		+	vi /usr/lib/luna/system/luna-applauncher/app/controllers/launcher-assistant.js
		+	//go to lines 26 and 27 and comment them out by adding '//' in front of them...to do this, hit 'i' to enter edit mode (you will see a capital i on the
		+	//bottom left-hand corner of the screen) and scroll over to the beginning of the lines and type '//'. Then, rearrange the five menu items to whatever
		+	//order you want...what I like best is below:
		+
		+	items: [
		+	//{ label: $L('New page'), command: 'newpage' },
		+	//{ label: $L('Delete page'), command: 'deletepage' },
		+	Mojo.Menu.editItem,
		+	{ label: $L('List Apps...'), command: 'listapps' },
		+	{ label: $L('New page'), command: 'newpage' },
		+	{ label: $L('Delete page'), command: 'deletepage' },
		+	Mojo.Menu.helpItem
		+	]
		+
		+	//This puts Edit first, then List Apps, New Page, Delete Page, and Help last in the menu
		+	//hit ESC to exit edit mode, and then type ':wq' to save the file (launcher-assistant.js) that we just modified...
		+
		+	mount -o remount,ro /
		+
		+	stop LunaSysMgr && start LunaSysMgr
		+	</pre>
		+
		+	All credit for this patch goes to original developer!
		+
		+	Enjoy! jmartino2011, 11-10-09
