The first thing is easy to see: there is no particular order in menu items, or, to be more precise, the order seems to be random :)
Would it be possible to at least alphabetically reorder menu items until extensions fraamework design (covering groups of effects etc.) is finished?
Well, there is no code in Inkscape to alphabetize them. I'm planning on doing that when I do the code to put them in submenus and group them. If someone would like to do that earlier, I have no problem with it, but I have no plans to do that independently.
That being said, I'm hoping to get the group functionality finished for 0.43...
The second thing is that "Grid" appears translated in contrary to other effects. I have no idea how this has happened. Is it an issue to be addressed?
Actually, all of the menu items are set up to look up the translation, I just haven't figured out how to get the entires into the .po files for the translators. "Grid" must be translated for something else in Inkscape, thus the translation gets picked up for the effect also. Theoretically, one could put all the Effect names in the .po files by hand and it would work, but we really need to figure out how to automate getting the entires out.[1]
