Can InstallAnywhere control the windows menuorder?

As I know, by default, windows startup menus are ordered by alphabetically -- it is decided by Windows 'MenuOrder' registry.

is it possible for InstallAnywhere to control the menuorder? for example, I want to 'UnInstall' always on the bottom, even we have some menu names starting with 'Y..' or 'Z..'

Natively, I don't think so. I worked around this limitation by doing this simple trick:

DELIMITER=,

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\MenuOrder\Start Menu\Programs\$DEFAULT_INSTALL_SUB_FOLDER$, Order, Binary, $NULL$


The above is the content of a sort.zgr file that you can import at the beginning of the Install section.
