Hi Stardock team,
I’d like to request a feature improvement in Start11 related to how new applications are added to the Start menu.
Current behavior:
When I add a new app (example: Trae), instead of placing it in the next available spot in my already full Start menu section, the program relocates it elsewhere and disrupts the order of tiles I’ve carefully organized.
Desired behavior:
Please preserve the existing layout.
Place new apps in the next open slot in the current section (bottom-left or nearest available position).
Avoid re-ordering or disorganizing the user’s custom arrangement.
Why this matters:
Maintaining the exact layout is important because many of us design our Start menus to be efficient, intuitive, and muscle-memory-driven. Unexpected shuffling of tiles reduces usability and creates extra work to reorganize.
Thanks for considering this request! I believe this small improvement would make Start11 even more user-friendly; here was an example -
Example:
1. Init layout, only one tile left! Let's add that Trae application to that open lower-left tile spot next to SolidWorks
2. Let's add it!
3. Uh-oh .... oops
This is a good suggestion, and yes can be very frustrating, but in the mean time try what I do.
I created a new group called "New Apps" on a new page of the start menu. Now whenever I add an app, I always add it to this group. There I can adjust it's size, and change to a custom icon if desired. Now I drag it to the position where I want it to reside. To drag a tile to a different page; drag it to the bottom of the start menu to the dots that represent the pages and move it until the page you want appears, and then up to the position in the group where you want it.
This works very well for me.
Agree!! Right now, I've done what pelaird do. But still, the layout will most probably rearrange itself. Bummer!

Thank you basj, I appreciate your help!
And I like your fix pelaird, this is crafty! I was hoping for a more standardized soln though. Your idea is both carefully thought out and well orchestrated; respect
