[MajorFeature] You can now set custom ordering for popup menus and set ordering for individual clip items.

[MinorFeature] Removed minimize button on main form (since Close button minimizes).
[BugFix] The IsInRecycleBin special sql field was not enclosed in () and so virtual folders sometimes included recycle bin contents; updated sample url virtual filter to exclude reyclebin items.
