OutputProgress can do that. See ScriptDlg.iss in your ISX\Sample dir
for an exampla.

Sorry, but unfortunately the uninstaller doesn't support scripting  (I
mean [Code]).

Windows handles the sort order. New things are sorted alphabatically
AFAIK. Note that it sorts things including the '.lnk' extension, so
'My Program' ends up below 'My Program Help' unless you use 'My
Program ' to trick it. There is a registry key where Windows stores
the sort order (I forgot the name) but there's no Windows API call to
access/modify it.

The path is stored under HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session
Manager\Environment. Support functions like Pos() can be used to scan
it if you want too. AUTOEXEC.BAT should be to hard either, just use
Load/SaveStringsFromFile and scan trough the string array.
