You got me wrong there, I am talking about a user defined / preference dict.
It's like choosing your preferred font. Of course this solution is very 
simplistic
only holding up to a single global order.

The other solution might be to simply replace the Dictionary in the new
class organizer by something like an OrderedKeyDictionary plus a Nautilus 
plugin, DONE

If you want my very personal opinion, I think it's not really helpful to 
have anything but alphabetic sorting. I use the new shortcuts in 2.0 to simply
jump to the category I want, that saves me some couple of 100ms visual
perception time on each selection.

I don't see any problem there.

in regard to what? I would say if you do a DeltaSlowness / AddedFeaturesIn2.0 
you end
up with something close to 0...
