[wp-hackers] WordPress UI Idea (#4): Sortable, editable main menu

[Matt Patenaude]

Sorting, perhaps. I don't really see the benefit to renaming though.  
I'm not sure many people would actually bother to rename the titles of  
the sidebar menu. Ordering is quite handy though. :)

I think it might be better, however, to not have a toggle for turning  
sorting on or off-- if a user drags a menu item, it should move  
without having to be told it's about to be moved (if you know what I  
mean).

Just my two cents, nice prototype (small bug: when you start dragging  
a menu item and you drag it far enough that some items rearrange, but  
then you drag it back to its original spot and drop it [ie, no move],  
then click on it to rename, the menu item disappears-- otherwise,  
works fine). :)
