Unfortunately, Windows 7 controls the order of everything within All Programs.  
It's alphabetical but with a twist from alphabetical everywhere else in
Windows.  Something with a space and additional text is listed before something 
without it.  So "Test App Z" will appear before "Test App" in All Programs. 
Note that this is opposite from Explorer which would see Test App Z after Test 
App. So, none of the requested changes of reordering could be achieved without
altering the actual names to something like "1. LibreOffice", "2. LibreOffice 
Writer", etc.  This would be less than ideal to say the least.

Windows automatically places a recently installed app on your initial Windows 
Start Menu list mixed in with your most-used apps below any pinned apps you 
have.
 Unfortunately for apps with multiple icons, it appears only the first icon 
will make it.  And that means first in terms of it's weird alphabetical order 
that
puts "LibreOffice" last after all the app launchers.  So, we wind up with 
LibreOffice Base in the main Start Menu.

The easiest solution would be to switch LibreOffice to a single app icon which 
would cause it to immediately show up within the main Start Menu.  That may bug
folks that like the individual app icons, though.  We could perhaps move them 
into a subfolder within the LibreOffice folder in the Start Menu.  Something 
like
"Individual Apps" or "Direct Launch".  That would be more complicated to get to 
but keep them all there.

Another possibility would be to rename the LibreOffice icon to something like 
"LibreOffice 3.5".  That would move it to the first position and should cause it
to show in the main Windows Start menu on install.  I think this may actually 
be the best option overall.
