Public bug reported:

The organization of the current context menus is a little odd. I'd like
to propose a new organization that (hopefully) puts more used items
towards the top and lesser used items towards the bottom. It's
organization also allows menus to be more consistent in their placement
amongst themselves (even though they contain different items). Note that
I used the phrase "Get Info" instead of "Properties". I feel like this
is a more friendly wording, but this is only my opinion and I won't
protest if you disagree on that point. Here is the proposal:

### Click in an Empty Space:

Create New Folder...
--
Select All
Paste
--
Show Hidden Files and Folders
--
Get Info

### Click on a Folder:

Open
Open in New Tab
--
Cut
Copy
Paste into Folder
--
%Contractor
--
Rename...
--
Move to Trash
Delete
--

### Click on an Item:

Open with "DefaultAppName"
Open with >
--
Cut
Copy

%Contractor
