Rietz Artur,

The menu ordering on the top-bar is controlled through Menu Editor.
Items under All-menu bar is organized based on the Sales / Marketing
process.

It might seem less flexible for power-users but makes it more easy for
novice / starters
who get into CRM and process quite easily. Making it configurable through
database is possible,
but poses overhead on performance.

To customize the view changes to related template / view might be required,
please suggest any approach you have in mind.

Regards,
Prasad
