 In '''menu.php''', the loops that recreate the menus based on permissions
 are called before the action "admin_menu" is called.

 So any menus or submenus added by plugins aren't removed with the loops.
 Also, this causes problems when any plugins directly modify the global
 arrays $menu or $submenu using the original parent as a key.

 Proposed fix: just moved the call to
 {{{
 do_action('admin_menu', '');
 }}}

 above the permission loops.

 Also, submenus are not sorted by calling
 {{{
 ksort($menu); // make it all pretty
 }}}
 for my own sanity, please change to:
 {{{
 ksort($menu); // make it all pretty
 foreach($submenu as $key => $menu_item)
 {
 ksort($menu_item);
 $submenu[$key] = $menu_item;
 }
 }}}

 And I know that plugins are supposed to use the add_submenu_page, but that
 function contains no method of indicating the sort number for the menus.
 What's the point of using ksort if plugins can't add menu items where they
 want?

 Thanks!
