## Summary
Sort the canvas right-click "Add Node" context menu by display name
(case-insensitive, natural numeric). Previously, both category submenus
and leaf nodes appeared in node-registration order, making the menu hard
to scan for users browsing for nodes.
This change is scoped specifically to the **smaller right-click
contextual menu**. It does NOT affect the double-click search menu or
the left-side Nodes panel.
## Changes
- `src/lib/litegraph/src/LGraphCanvas.ts` — In `onMenuAdd` →
`inner_onMenuAdded`, sort the deduplicated category submenu entries and
the leaf-node entries by `content` using `localeCompare` with `{
numeric: true, sensitivity: 'base' }`. Categories still appear before
leaf nodes within a level (preserves existing UX).
- `src/lib/litegraph/src/LGraphCanvas.onMenuAdd.test.ts` — New unit
tests that mock `LiteGraph.ContextMenu` and assert: case-insensitive
sort, natural numeric ordering (`Cat1`, `Cat2`, `Cat10`), leaf-node
sorting inside a category, and category-before-leaf placement.
## Verification
- `pnpm vitest run src/lib/litegraph/src/LGraphCanvas.onMenuAdd.test.ts`
— 4/4 pass
- `pnpm typecheck` — clean (ran via pre-commit hook on initial commit)
- `oxfmt` / `oxlint` / `eslint` — clean
- Oracle review against `main` returned 0 critical / 1 warning (test
coverage) / 1 suggestion (numeric sort) — both addressed in this PR.
## Notes
- The sort is applied at the menu-build site rather than inside
`LiteGraphGlobal.getNodeTypesCategories`/`getNodeTypesInCategory` to
keep the change scoped to the menu UX and avoid changing the iteration
order seen by extensions that consume those public methods.
- Per user request, this is opening as a draft PR for self-review +
CodeRabbit feedback in a single follow-up pass; manual browser
verification (right-click screenshots) was deferred to that pass.
- Slack thread context: user reported the contextual menu is "a mess"
for discovering native nodes; alphabetical sorting addresses the
discoverability problem without touching the search-oriented menus.

This is the litegraph version used in ComfyUI_frontend.
It is a fork of the original litegraph.js. Some APIs may by unchanged, however it is largely incompatible with the original.
Some early highlights:
- Accumulated comfyUI custom changes (2024-01 ~ 2024-05) (https://github.com/Comfy-Org/litegraph.js/pull/1)
- Type schema change for ComfyUI_frontend TS migration (https://github.com/Comfy-Org/litegraph.js/pull/3)
- Zoom fix (https://github.com/Comfy-Org/litegraph.js/pull/7)
- Emit search box triggering custom events (https://github.com/Comfy-Org/litegraph.js/pull/10)
- Truncate overflowing combo widget text (https://github.com/Comfy-Org/litegraph.js/pull/17)
- Sort node based on ID on graph serialization (https://github.com/Comfy-Org/litegraph.js/pull/21)
- Fix empty input not used when connecting links (https://github.com/Comfy-Org/litegraph.js/pull/24)
- Batch output connection move/disconnect (https://github.com/Comfy-Org/litegraph.js/pull/39)
- And now with hundreds more...
Usage
This library is included as a git subtree in the ComfyUI frontend project at src/lib/litegraph.
litegraph.js
A TypeScript library to create graphs in the browser similar to Unreal Blueprints.
Description of the original litegraph.js
A library in Javascript to create graphs in the browser similar to Unreal Blueprints. Nodes can be programmed easily and it includes an editor to construct and tests the graphs.
It can be integrated easily in any existing web applications and graphs can be run without the need of the editor.
Features
- Renders on Canvas2D (zoom in/out and panning, easy to render complex interfaces, can be used inside a WebGLTexture)
- Easy to use editor (searchbox, keyboard shortcuts, multiple selection, context menu, ...)
- Optimized to support hundreds of nodes per graph (on editor but also on execution)
- Customizable theme (colors, shapes, background)
- Callbacks to personalize every action/drawing/event of nodes
- Graphs can be executed in NodeJS
- Highly customizable nodes (color, shape, widgets, custom rendering)
- Easy to integrate in any JS application (one single file, no dependencies)
- Typescript support
Integration
This library is integrated as a git subtree in the ComfyUI frontend project. To use it in your code:
import { LGraph, LGraphNode, LiteGraph } from '@/lib/litegraph'
How to code a new Node type
Here is an example of how to build a node that sums two inputs:
import { LiteGraph, LGraphNode } from './litegraph'
class MyAddNode extends LGraphNode {
// Name to show
title = 'Sum'
constructor() {
this.addInput('A', 'number')
this.addInput('B', 'number')
this.addOutput('A+B', 'number')
this.properties.precision = 1
}
// Function to call when the node is executed
onExecute() {
var A = this.getInputData(0)
if (A === undefined) A = 0
var B = this.getInputData(1)
if (B === undefined) B = 0
this.setOutputData(0, A + B)
}
}
// Register the node type
LiteGraph.registerNodeType('basic/sum', MyAddNode)
Server side
It also works server-side using NodeJS although some nodes do not work in server (audio, graphics, input, etc).
import { LiteGraph, LGraph } from './litegraph.js'
const graph = new LGraph()
const firstNode = LiteGraph.createNode('basic/sum')
graph.add(firstNode)
const secondNode = LiteGraph.createNode('basic/sum')
graph.add(secondNode)
firstNode.connect(0, secondNode, 1)
graph.start()
