Menus Ascending Order (v19)
Sort every Odoo menu and sub-menu in ascending alphabetical order — install and forget.
Overview
Menus Ascending Order is a tiny, single-purpose Odoo module: once installed, every menu and sub-menu in the Odoo navigation is displayed in ascending alphabetical order, across every app.
Built by TechUltra Solutions, the module has no UI, no settings, and no per-user toggles — it simply sorts the menu tree. That makes navigation more predictable for users who switch between apps, run a long list of custom modules, or onboard new staff who have no muscle memory for Odoo's default menu order.
The module is published under OPL-1 and is supported on Odoo 10, 11, 16, 17, 18, and 19, free of charge on the Odoo App Store.
Key features
-
Alphabetical menu order across Odoo
Every top-level menu in the Odoo navigation is reordered in ascending alphabetical order so users can scan the menu instead of hunting for it.
-
Applies to sub-menus too
The sort runs through every level of the menu tree, so sub-menus inside each app are also displayed in alphabetical order.
-
Zero configuration
There is no settings panel and no per-user toggle. Install the module and the menu order changes immediately.
-
Works across Odoo 10 to 19
A single module covers Odoo 10.0, 11.0, 16.0, 17.0, 18.0, and 19.0, so the same predictable menu order works whether you're on a legacy build or the latest release.
-
Lightweight footprint
The module is small — 36 lines of code — with no runtime cost and no impact on other Odoo apps beyond the menu order.
-
Helps onboard new users
Predictable, alphabetical menus reduce the time new staff spend learning where things live in Odoo, especially in installs with many custom apps.

Setup & configuration
From install to first call — here is the path.
- 1
Install the module
In Odoo, open Apps, remove the Apps filter, search for “Menus Ascending Order”, and click Install.
- 2
Refresh the browser
Reload Odoo so the navigation re-renders with the new menu order. No cache clear is required.
- 3
Verify the menu order
Open the main app launcher and any individual app to confirm that top-level menus and sub-menus appear in ascending alphabetical order.
- 4
Roll out to all users
Because there is no per-user setting, the new order applies to every user automatically. Tell the team the menu has moved so they're not surprised.
Frequently asked questions

-

No. The module has no UI and no settings — install it and the menu order changes immediately for every user.

Can different users have different menu orders?
No. The sort applies globally, so every user sees the same alphabetical order. That predictability is the point.
