I would like to place the categories in the global apps menu as specified in this figma

To be more clear:
For applications, I would like:

• Content and Accounts to be in first column
• Commerce [if installed] to have its own column and be the second one
• Workflow, App Builder and Search to be in the 3rd one
• Communication and Custom Apps to be in the 4th

For extra categories, I would like them to be placed if possible in between.
Eudaldo Alonso could a user manually decide the order of a category in the list of categories?

For Control Panel, I would like:

• 1st column: Users & Organizations and Sites
• 2nd column: Configuration
• 3rd column: Security
• 4th column: System and Marketplace

Why this order?
It is place in the order I prevent it is more usual to have applications or categories. The most used or the ones I think are more relevant per user type.
There is no data that supports this decision, aswell as there is no data that supports any other decision as far as I know.

Why a maximum of 4 columns?
With 5 columns everything looks very tight. I believe playing with a maxium of 4 is good enough.

Please keep everything inside the contained width as shown in the figma. It is more visually pleasant.
