    Hi Ian,

    I don't think you can customize this button as it uses internal javascript to populate the items.

    You can however build you own custom button and add the entities the way you want it.

    I haven't done this but believes the below links will suffice to achiev this requirement-

    1. Creating a new fly out button - www.develop1.net/.../Add-Dynamic-Menu-to-Ribbon-Button.aspx

    2. Using java script to open entity form - msdn.microsoft.com/.../jj602956.aspx

    Hope this helps.

    Hi Ian,

    i suspect the sort order is alphabetic, so you can try to edit entity plural display name, like:

    *Enquires or .Enquires
