Same no [80 items]

So is the "garden" somewhere there?

I then made another menu called 'work' and the new folder 0 yuri appears in the correct place (not at the bottom) [69 items].

This is normal. TLB sort items on first load, until you reposition some items by drag&drop. If you want all items in alphabetical order then right-click in menu and select Arrange Icons By -> Auto arrange
