Do you have an example plugin that would benefit from this change? |

I was working on something a while back where having a separate topmenu config would be completely redundant as all the information was already available in a different KV file used for creating the menu that the config would be sorting. For context, the plugin, the KV that already exists, the redundant top menu sorting file. Plus this does not affect the parsing of already existing top menu configs. |

We should add some documentation for this as well. I guess this is the only place documenting sorting? https://wiki.alliedmods.net/Admin_Menu_Configuration_(SourceMod) |

+Alternatively instead of "item" keys subkeys can be used, with their signifying the value. It is important to note that topmenu configs are not infinitely recursive, this subkey layout works at the top level but other keys further within will not be a part of the topmenus config. Instead the ability to use these subkeys is intented to allow one config to be used as both a topmenu configuration file and a normal keyvalues file, with all the necessary information inside.

This allows some config files to be reused for sorting a topmenu as well. For example this config could be used both to load the data a plugin needs and to sort a topmenu:
Whereas this config can only be used to sort a topmenu:
