You can keep your menu as it is, right? Any change here will only affect new users. When we go to Trixie, you would just save your existing menu, then after installation paste it back in.
I backup my HOME directory to another drive every 6 months or so. I add/remove a lot of styles/backgrounds/fonts/icons/etc. and like to keep the most recent version available at all times for new installs.

search iconbar before search workspace
Make it known to avoid using the case sensitive search keyword sequences in comments, toolbar.button names and labels, workspace names.
Melber Your script is fantastic. You have remained on track to provide Jerry3904's model.
I selfishly have shared my own model ideas both here and in another topic.
If You have Your own model we will like to see it.

I appreciate your ongoing attention here, but I'm done with structure and am now trying to finish out implementation.
BTW: I'm sorry but I don't understand the point of your question about sort order--maybe @Melber does. And I'm not interested in a category with only 2 entries.

i_ri means that
session.screen0.tabs.intitlebar gets sorted into the titlebar category rather than the tabs category.
This version searches for "tab" before "titlebar", so that line gets sorted into "tabs".
It also sorts
session.screen0.tooltipDelay into the iconbar category as per i_ri's Post #53.

Are you ready to upload it to mxfb-accessories? And if yes, how do you want to name it (I have a provisional mxfb-sortinit)?
