Sort Admin Menus Alphabetically For Better Organization

Sortacular works by organizing common sub-menus alphabetically, while leaving Core menu items alone. This makes finding items in the admin faster, while keeping things intuitive.

  • Sort common sub-menus alphabetically
  • Core menu items are left alone, for muscle-memory reach
