Help with right click menu in layers panel

Is there a way to move the items around ie. when you right click to flatten image I would like to move flatten image to bottom of menu instead of having the 3D stuff there.

By the way I am using PS 6

Thanks for any help

Once the image is flattened there are NO more layers except the flattened one. Oh, wait, you are talking about 3D stuff. Sorry, out of my league at this time. I know we have some very knowledgeable members though who will be able to answer your question.

Sounds like you probably prefer the 'Flatten Image' selection at the bottom of the menu to acheive some efficiency you are used to from CS5 (where that is the default menu setup). I'm not sure if you can re-order the menu items in CS6, like you can't in CS5, but you can at least turn off the appearance of items below 'Flatten Image' if you want.
Here's an instructional video on customizing menus in CS6. You will note that it is Chapter 20 of 34 in a series, "Photoshop CS6 101: Mastering The Workspace by Jim Kanter." (Since I just found it, I plan on spending some time watching the other 33 chapters!)

...After messing around with this a bit, I realized that what you probably want to change is the right-click "context" menu, which doesn't change with 'Panel Menu' changes (like you would think it probably should!), so I'm guessing the approved Adobe answer is probably, "sorry, you can't do that."

You are right this is what I was trying to do, CS5 has flatten image at the bottom of the right click context menu and when CS6 came out they just put all the 3D stuff at the bottom of the menu. I was always clicking on the postcard which is now the boring one. I did however assign it to crtl-F which was currently for the last filter used shortcut,which I never remember what the last one I used anyways-- LOL

Thanks for the help on this,now I just have to remember that I created a shortcut and quite right clicking

Good idea! I'd use a different key than ^F myself, because I do regularly want 'Last Filter', but yours is a good workaround that I wouldn't have thought of - Thanks!
