Not really. I assume you're talking about the menus and submenus, and
they're just a pair of global variables, $menu and $submenu. Pick a
hook somewhere after the plugin menus have been added and sort away.

Something like:

<?php
/*
Plugin Name: Alphabet Options
Description: Alphabetize "options" submenus
Version: 1
Plugin URI: http://rephrase.net/miscellany/06/alphabetoptions.phps
*/

function alphabetMenu() {
	global $submenu;
	usort($submenu['options-general.php'], 'alphabetMenuSort');
}
function alphabetMenuSort( $a, $b ) {
	return strcmp( $a[0], $b[0] );
}
add_action('admin_head', 'alphabetMenu');
?>
