Sortacular – Sort Select Admin Menus Alphabetically

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.
• Appearance – Themes, Editor, Menus, and other Core items stay first; theme/plugin items follow, alphabetically.
• Tools – Available Tools, Import, Export, Site Health, and other Core items stay first; plugin tools follow, alphabetically.
• Dashboard – Core items stay first; any added items follow, alphabetically.

In Multisite, the following menus are sorted:

• Settings
• Dashboard
• Themes

Configuration

No configuration needed. Activate the plugin and the menus are reorganized automatically. You can customize which items count as “Core” using the provided filters if you need to.
