Controlling the order of CWEs display in menu in Lync 2013

If you want to control the order of display of CWEs listed in the Lync 2013 client (when you click the ellipses in a conversation), you can do.

The CWEs are not listed alphabetically as you might think. In fact, they are sorted by their GUID in the registry! So, you can choose GUIDs to control the order of your CWEs, or pick a good GUID to make sure you end up top, or bottom, of the menu!

Just remember, you can’t randomly change the GUIDs of CWEs you didn’t write if they have a corresponding UCMA part which opens them. The opening call is controlled by that GUID, so if you change it, the app will stop working.
