Actually, this even applies when the object was modifiable when the original creator gave it away but isn't anymore when he right-clicks it. (Later editors of the object might have disabled that permission.)

Order should definitely be fixed, just unavailable entries (and those that cannot make sense in the respective context) disabled. Even long time users might not always be aware of their creatorship/ownership/permission relation to an object they right-click, so changing menu entry order depending on that would indeed be very confusing. cheers Boroondas _______________________________________________ Policies and (un)subscribe information available here: http://wiki.secondlife.com/wiki/OpenSource-Dev Please read the policies before posting to keep unmoderated posting privileges
