That does not seem to work properly. Pressing ⌘Y and then B will select 
"Branches" instead of "Browse Annotated File". For P it will select "Pop 
Stash" instead of "Pull".

One minor disadvantage of the current way that the letters work is that 
it will only select the command, not execute it.

Understandable. It just happens that I use a couple of commands that do 
not have an associated number more often a couple of the commands that 
do have numbers.

If it would be possible to add keyboard shortcuts for the menu that is 
not dependent on the order, the existing order could be preserved for 
backwards compatibility. That is, it would be possible to use both 
numbers and letters.
