Good day and hope you're all safe and healthy.

Is there a way to quickly sort the addons in Overflow Menu without doing so manually? I have carpal tunnel syndrome and dread arranging a good number of addons by hand. An about:config method, maybe, or another addon that could do the trick?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

There is no easy way to alphabetize these toolbar buttons. The list is stored in the browser.uiCustomization.state pref on the about:config page ("widget-overflow-fixed-list":[] array), but this list is in JSON format and contains the ID of the toolbar button of each extension. Some extensions have a 32 digit UUID that you would have to resolve via about:debugging and others have a more descriptive name, but you would still have to match each extension as listed on the about:support page with the button ID as listed in browser.uiCustomization.state. So it might be easier to rearrange them yourself, possibly by using the extension list as present on the about:support page.
