Custom Module with Host Action - Is sorting and an icon possible?

We’ve created a custom module that creates a new action under the “Action” headline which is working fine.

Besides that new action link there are a couple of other links from modules and shared navigation links, that aren’t sorted by name.
Is there a way to sort the entries by name and add an icon that’ll help finding links more easily?

I dont know about sorting, but you definitely can add icons.

Either on the Add Host Action button in the UI:

Or in a web module:

            new Link(
                [new Icon('globe'), $label],
                'map?showHost=' . rawurlencode($host->name)
            )

You can see here how it uses the globe icon in the code for the Host Action. I hope this gives you an idea.

Thanks a lot for that hint @bberg !

I can now use an icon from the IPL.

Anybody else with hints for custom icons and/or sorting options?
