How can I sort Xfce's whisker menu list alphabetically?

Question

I have xfce4-panel 4.12 and as you see in screenshot, the Whisker menu is not sorted. I didn't find any option for sorting the menu so the question is how can I sort it alphabetically ?

I can only sort Favorites by right-clicking on any of them in the whisker menu.

Xfce edit menu now has sort button (smaller arrow with three small dots) next to the up/down move arrows at bottom left corner of the app. (Xfce version 4.14) To get there right click on the applications button,choose properties,the Applications Menu window appears. Click on the Edit Menu button. Sort by highlighting one item of a category, and pressing the arrow with the three dots libre Menu clip

I believe the easiest way to do this is by using an application called MenuLibre. It is usually installed by default (under settings) but can be installed with sudo apt-get install menulibre if not.

BTW, the application appears in the menu as "Menu Editor".

Right-click on start button and select Properties. Then uncheck both "show generic application names" and "Show menu hierarchy".
