I hear you but Windows has done this for so long that I forget to be
annoyed.

The Start Menu is just a graphical representation of existing
folders and shortcuts. It is following the same conventions that is seen in
My Computer or Windows Explorer.
Workaround: You could drag and drop everything into the order that you want
but that can be tedious.
