reorders the context menu based on what the user is likely to choose
also does a few renamed so the names are sorted (like View on GameDB and all that)

open pipeline cache folder is now inside a submenu, because users are not as likely to choose that
storage nad pipeline cache are now separate categories so users dont accidentally click on "Delete dlcs" instead of "Delete pipeline cache"
playtime is just a menu with "reset/edit", very shrimple, less words!

This new ordering is significantly less intuitive and also changes things around for no apparent reason. Why?

This new ordering is *significantly* less intuitive and also changes things around for no apparent reason. Why?

I based the reordering based on what youre likely to use as a user
Most users just want to see the mods folder/save data folder; rarely they ever go into the pipeline cache folder
Additionally, most users can't read too many words in the "remove" submenu
My idea is that there is less items per submenu, they get more "distributed" instead of stashing a bunch of things into the "remove" subemnu
Intuitively it does make sense since most things are where they are supposed to (for example pipeline cache).
Again this is mostly based on "user will use this X more commonly than Y"; and knowing users its probably good to show things mroe concisely

Users for example are way less likely to use the copy title id option as opposed to "open mod/save" option, hence, its put at the bottom
The reordering is based on my subjective perception for what the user would prioritize at any given moment (sure when a user is setting up eden after using ryujinx they may like the link to ryujinx option to be at the top, but most users do not use that as often as "open mod directory")
