Don’t understand the sorting in system.gui.createPopupMenu

```auto
	menu = system.gui.createPopupMenu({ u"1 - Activer Caméra":activerCamera,
										u"2 - Desactiver Caméra":desactiverCamera,
										u"3 - Activer Alarme Visibilité":activerAlarme,
										u"4 - Desactiver Alarme Visibilité":desactiverAlarme})
```

Like this:

```auto
names = [u"1 - Activer Caméra", u"2 - Desactiver Caméra", u"3 - Activer Alarme Visibilité","4 - Desactiver Alarme Visibilité"]
functions = [activerCamera,desactiverCamera,activerAlarme,desactiverAlarme]
menu = system.gui.createPopupMenu(names,functions)
menu.show(event)
```
