Desktop context: Keep aligned, Organize desktop by name missing

[JOSEPH E CONNER]

After upgrading from 18.10 to 19.04 the desktop context menu no longer contains the choices:

Keep aligned
Organize desktop by name

These were very useful to me. I would like them to be restored.

Ubuntu 19.04, 64bit
Gnome 3.32.1

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

Ubuntu 19.04 comes with gnome shell extension: "desktop icons". In previous versions of Ubuntu desktop icons was provided by nautilus, but new version of nautilus (3.32) lost desktop icons functionality.

Unfortunately looks like extension's author decided not to implement any sorting/rearranging features: https://gitlab.gnome.org/World/ShellExtensions/desktop-icons/issues/98

Applies to 19.10 as well
