## New sort syntax
Because of all the changes to the sorting methods in rofi, the command-line options for it where very confusing.
To fix this they have been changed.
The `sort` option is now used to enable/disable sorting. (This can also be changed at run-time using the hotkey)
The `sort-method` allows you to set the sorting method. Currently it supports **normal** (levenshtein) and **fzf**.

### Modify the DRUN display string ### Modify the DRUN display string
Issue: #858 Issue: #858
An often requested option.... An often requested feature is the ability to change the display string for the drun modi.
The `-drun-display-format` option is added that allows just this.
> -drun-display-format

> The format string for the drun dialog:
> * name: the application's name
> * generic: the application's generic name
> * exec: the application's executable
> * categories: the application's categories
> * comment: the application comment
>
> Default: {name} [({generic})]
Items between `[]` are only displayed when the field within is set. So in the above example, the `()` are omitted when
`{generic}` is not set.
### Theme format now supports environment variables
v1.5.2: You can use environment variables as part of your theme/configuration file property value.
- Fix assert and update test. (#875) Environment variables start with `$` and the name is surrounded by `{}`.
- Add missing example Script (#869) So to query the environment `FOO` you can do:
- Add terminals to rofi-sensible-terminal (#808)
- Lexer Fix several ambiguity and handling of empty input. ```css
- Lexer support environment variables. #window {
- Cleanup syntax for sorting. (#816) background: ${FOO};
}
```
The environment is then parsed as a normal value.
