Further, un-foldered or 'root' shortcuts can be above, below, or between folders in this display. And the only user options for ordering the view are Move Down and Move To Top. If you wish to have a partular order, it requires a lot of careful planning, first moving your least-favourite shortcuts/folders to the top, then gradually working up the list to at last arrive at your most-favoured links along the top and those below in progressively less-favoured order. I have Settings at the bottom, for instance, as once set up I need this the least. I keep apMemo, my mail app (nPOPuk), TotalCommanderCE, NetFront3.5, Google Maps, Calendar and Communication nearest the top, with folders for Accessories, Media, Communication, Files next, then System, Office, then finally Settings. I use an xdadevelopers-supplied modification to the start menu which changes it from 3 columns to 4, to cram more into the space without scrolling.
Well that's true, but only to an extent. It depends on the WM 6.5 build used. I don't have any device with official WM 6.5 ROM (I'm waiting for HTC to release one for my Touch Pro2), but most of the builds I have tried from XDA-Developers have the capability to move the icons in the start menu to whatever position you want - you simply drag an icon to another one and it moves there.
