[As-users] AS 2.00.01 start menu sort order

I want to add a couple of my most-used programs to the top of the menu
that appears when i click the desktop. I've created a directory
~/.afterstep/start and put a .include file in it to load the normal
system menu. The .include looks like:
name AfterStep
include "/usr/share/afterstep/start"
In AfterStep 1.8.11 i could add new items to the top of the menu by
creating files in ~/GNUstep/Library/AfterStep/start named 0_program,
1_program, etc. They would appear at the top of the menu. But if i do
that in AfterStep 2.00.01, my custom entries don't get sorted at the
top, they are mixed in with the system menu.
For example, the system menu (in /usr/share/afterstep/start) looks like
this (the first column is how the menu item appears on screen, the
second is the name of the file associated with each item):
Debian 0_Debian
Desktop 1_Desktop
Modules 2_Modules
Windows 4_Windows
Quit 5_Quit
[separator space] 6_nop
About AfterStep 7_About_AfterStep
XTerminal c_xterminal
if i create in ~/.afterstep/start 3 files 0_rxvt, 1_firefox, 99_nop,
the menu looks like this (items from the custom menu are in caps to
easily distinguish them):
Debian 0_Debian
RXVT 0_rxvt
Desktop 1_Desktop
MOZILLA FIREFOX 1_firefox
Modules 2_Modules
Windows 4_Windows
Quit 5_Quit
[separator space] 6_nop
About AfterStep 7_About_AfterStep
[SEPARATOR SPACE] 99_nop
XTerminal c_xterminal
Is there a way to make them sort at the top, ala AS 1.8.11? I want the
menu to look like this:
RXVT 0_rxvt
MOZILLA FIREFOX 1_firefox
[SEPARATOR SPACE] 99_nop
Debian 0_Debian
Desktop 1_Desktop
Modules 2_Modules
Windows 4_Windows
Quit 5_Quit
[separator space] 6_nop
About AfterStep 7_About_AfterStep
XTerminal c_xterminal
For the three custom menu items, i have tried naming them with extra
zeros on the front, so their file name would be: 000_rxvt, 001_firefox,
099_nop. But that had no effect; they were sorted the same as before i
added the extra zeros.
In my look file i do have "StartMenuSortMode 1" set, but i didn't see
any other settings that appeared to be associated with start menu sort
order.
