<h1> for the honor

What change in 5.26.2 (probably earlier?) results in this behavior?

Does it matter? The answer is no :)

The menu option “Sort and Filter” -> “Advanced sorting” can sort the list on up to 3 columns. It seems to work in both versions. In 5.16.3, the mask “Advanced sorting”, that is, a grid of three rows of BrowseEntry (to choose a column) and Checkbuttons (to define ascending or descending sorting) – this mask is empty on every new call. In 5.26.2, if I call the menu more times, some BrowseEntrys are set with the name of the first columns (not empty as the should). I can change the column choice or even delete an entry. However I cannot get why the entries are set just on call of the menu.

That is kind of difficult to read, anyway, see spoiler above (and notice its short),

but

With one click for a menu/submenu/popup/dropdown/checkbox ... thats too many clicks for simple sort.

A better idea is to use one of Tk::MListbox , Tk::Table, https://metacpan.org/pod/distribution/Tk-TableMatrix/pod/TableMatrix.pod, Sorted lists in Tk ... to sort you simply click on the column heading. one ascending, one descending, one no sorting*.

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>

Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).

Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.


No such thing as a small change
