How to change section sorting in Debian menus?

[William Ballard <40311.nospam@comcast.net>]

I have read the /usr/share/doc/menu/html/* documentation and made the 
following change to /etc/menu-methods/menu.h:

sort=ifelse($sort,$sort,"ZZZ") ":" tolower(title())

so that my custom Debian menus can specify sort order.

I cannot figure out how to sort Sections, i.e so that "Frequent" will 
sort before "Apps".  But since all the docs *explicitly forbid* using 
Sections other than those on the approved list, can a System 
Administrator expect to be able to use custom sections?
