0.51: Order of menu entries

Some minor issues:
Mirror
In XnView Classic the order of the menu entries in "Image > Mirror >" is:
1. Vertical
2. Horizontal
In XnView MP it's vice versa. This should be adjusted.
Rotate
In XnView Classic the order of the menu entries in "Image > Rotate" is:
1. 90 Left
2. 90 Right
3. 180
In XnView MP it's:
1. 90 Right
2. 180
3. 90 Left
Rotate Right before Rotate Left does not make much sense. I think the order of XnView MP should be adjusted to XnView Classic. Alternatively, the order of both XnView Classic and XnView MP could be adjusted to:
1. 90 Left
2. 180
3. 90 Right

No I prefer this ordering as it is in XnView MP.
You must consider users that view JPG images with exif rotation from their camera's, if XnView MP was not 'smart' enough to understand the correct exif rotation to display in (which it is) then in my experience the landscape display would usually require a "90 right" rotation.
So for this, I think Classic XnView should use the same menu ordering as XnViewMP. Please correct me if Im wrong.

The current and your suggested order with right rotation first, is not logical. Western people read from left to right and from up to down. Having "left" rotation at the top seems logical to me:
1. -90° (counter-clockwise)
2. 180°
3. +90° (clockwise)
Alternatively it could be:
1. -90° (counter-clockwise)
3. +90° (clockwise)
2. 180°

Hmm, I guess this much depends on shape and type of the camera and the habits of the photograph. Since there are all types of cameras around including Smartphones, you cannot really tell.
