I want to customize the order or sequence of the main menu (top menu) in Odoo 11. For example, I would like to see the Sales menu before, or maybe hide the Calendar menu.

You can use Sequence to change the order of the menus. You can use Groups under Access Rights to show/hide menus to users.
​
You need to activate Developer Mode to do this. Go to Settings > Technical > Menu Items

Hi,

You can set menu orders from Settings > Technical > User Interface > Menu Items (First activate developer mode from general settings).


However, if you're looking for more control over how menus or apps are displayed in the backend (e.g., sorting them alphabetically or differently per user), there are community modules available that can enhance this experience. For example, I've found these two quite practical in real-world use cases:

  • Alphabetical Sorting of Menus: Useful when you want to keep your main menu structured A-Z for better navigation.
    → menu_sort_alphabetical_odonity
  • User-Specific Menu Order: Helps if different users prefer different menu layouts or workflows. It allows customizing menu order individually.
    → user_wise_menu_sorting_odonity

Both are plug-and-play and work seamlessly in the backend UI.

Hopefully this helps anyone trying to improve backend usability, especially in multi-user environments!

Hi,

If you need to change the sequence of the menu items either you can do it from the code or from user interface using the developer mode.

Just activate the developer mode and navigate to Settings -> Technical -> User Interface -> Menu Items, and open the menu you need and change its sequence. Lower the sequence menu will come first.
