Description

A customer complained about poor usability of the window menu, since the menu items are logically backwards, eg:

- Table – Database – Server
- Different Table – Other Database – Other Server
- Another Table – Database – Server

It would be a lot easier to parse if it was the other way round:

- Server – Database – Table
- Other Server – Other Database – Different Table
- Server – Database – Another Table

Maybe it should even have icons like the breadcrumb in the toolbar
