A fix is posssible by slightly changing PrimaryWindow.vala:

        private void create_entry (IndicatorWidget entry)
        {
            if (entry.get_indicator ().get_name () == "libdatetime.so")
            {
                clock_menubar.prepend (entry);
            }

            else if (entry.get_indicator ().get_name () == "libappmenu.so")
            {
//FIXES APPMENU TO LOOK GREAT,BUT NOT IN REVERSE
                apps_menubar.append (entry);
            }

            else
            {
                indicator_menubar.insert_sorted (entry);
            }
        }

Global menu support was intentionally removed from the stable branch because it has a memory leak. If you want to use it anyway, remove the stable PPA and add the unstable PPA.

If you don't want to use the unstable PPA, you could simply blacklist 'libappmenu.so' with the following command:

gsettings set org.pantheon.desktop.super-wingpanel blacklist "['libappmenu.so']" && killall super-wingpanel
