P: Window > Extensions menu list no longer alphabetized on Windows 10

The list of extension panels under the Windows > Extension menu
in PS is not alphabetized on Windows 10.  It used to be in alphabeticalorder, but is now in a random order.  This problem only appears to be onWindows.  My Mac still has the extensions in alphabetical order.

The problem started with the last update to CC 2018.  I looked backat CC 2017 yesterday and saw the list no longer alphabetized there also, sosome update must have scrambled that list as well.

While the list appears to be in random order, it is the same order eachtime PS is opened and in each version of PS.  So it appears that it isbeing sorted in some order by PS, just not alphabetical order.

I have confirmed this behavior with at least three other people using PSon Windows 10 and have posted information about it in the Adobe forums:  https://forums.adobe.com/message/10737823#10737823

I noticed that with the final release of Photoshop CC 2018 (19.1.6) and now also with CC 2019 (20.0.0), my somewhat extensive list of extension panels found under the Window > Extensions menu in Photoshop is no longer alphabetized on my Windows 10 computer.  It's still alphabetized on my Mac computer, though.  I can't really figure out what the sort order is now on the Windows computer, but having it un-alphabetized makes it difficult to find a specific extension panel that I want to open.

I have confirmed that one other Windows user has the same issue, but don't know if it's actually widespread.

I did reset my preferences, but that did not resolve this issue.

Are other Windows 10 users seeing that their list of extensions under Windows > Extensions in Photoshop on a Windows 10 computer is no longer alphabetized.

Is there anyway to reset the items on this list to be sorted alphabetically?

I have about 20+ extensions and they are usually not sorted. But in some rare cases were sorted even in new PS versions. Maybe there is some race condition or timeout.
