Yes, because of the `'append` argument to `add-to-list`. If you leave it out, it
will be added to the beginning of the list. If you want it in the middle, you'll
need to do some setcdr-magic, I guess.

Of course, if you want to remove entries from the list, `add-to-list` won't help
you. :-)

I also don't use all entries in the list, but I decided to leave them in for
just this reason. I don't look at the menu very often anyway, because I just
type a few characters to narrow down the list. (Also, I use prescient.el, so the
order of the elements in the list isn't really relevant.)
