Refer to msdn article "http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;177482"
"Start menu and Favorites menu are not listed in alphabetical order".
The start menus are automatically sorted in alphabetical order. We can easily resort menu items in alphabetical order.

But Ms keeps the registry data structure of startmenu's menu order private.
And there's no Windows API declared to modify the menu order of startmenu on Windows.
In addition, JSR-58 doesn't mention the menu order. 
So, the feature can't be implemented in jws on windows.
(Although, we could do it in GNOME.)
