Description
Sortacular organizes your WordPress admin sidebar so it’s easier to find what you need. Core menu items (the ones that ship with WordPress) stay at the top in their normal order. A small divider separates them from plugin and theme items, which are then sorted A–Z.
This plugin has no admin options or settings, and it works automatically when activated.
What Sortacular Sorts
- Settings – General, Writing, Reading, and other Core settings stay first; third-party options follow, alphabetically.

Yes, add this to your site’s code. The sorting for top-levels is still experimental and seeking feedback, which is why it is opt-in.

Not at all. The sorting is applied automatically and there are no admin settings.
