Summary

In vertex selection mode, the "At First" and "At Last" options are
added to the beginning of the list of merge operations. This means
the automatically added shortcuts in the merge menu are different,
making learning the shortcuts much more difficult than necessary.

This patch reorders the items so that "At First" and "At Last" are
added after the first three options so the shortcuts are always
consistent.

There is some risk of breaking muscle memory, but I believe the
improvement is worth it, since the reordering basically breaks
the shortcut idea here.

I think this is fine. It's somewhere in-between a fix and a muscle memory breaking change. But the current design already challenges muscle memory. Doesn't seem like something people would complain about, if there are reasonable complaints, we can consider reverting it for the release and correcting this for 3.0.
