How to adjust order of menu items?

For menu "recent files", if a path is already in the menu but not the first one, it should be move to the first.

Removing an action from menu will delete the action from memory, right?

No. Untested, but did you see void QWidget::removeAction(QAction *action), @artwaw suggested that too:

Removes the action action from this widget's list of actions.

I would expect it to preserve everything for re-insert. removeAction and insertAction reference each other.

@jronald you can use insertAction() method. When building your menu though it might be faster to sort your strings first and then build actions in the order of the strings.

insertAction() can insert a new action, how to move an action?

@jronald removeAction() and then insert it at the desired position?

Since there is no "move", insert in desired order or use remove followed by re-insert if you have to move later on.

Then it needs to new an action and connect it with a handler, anyway to save this?
