 Although the (now default) menu management functions have been built into
 the admin area we absolutely NEED a correctly sort the menu items within
 the metaboxes.

 I am surprised this issue has not been addressed yet so what I am
 proposing is the following:

 Whenever a metabox is displayed on the menu management page the items
 within this metabox should be sorted by their default Wordpress sort order
 so their order shows up exactly like they do within the admin post list
 pages.

 For hierarchical pages the menu items should be presented in a
 hierarchical type view (just like a hierarchical categories/terms).

 Currently the tab on top shows "most used" but I feel what I mentioned
 above is far more logical as the default and the user should be able to
 select from "most used" and possibly even "alphabetically".

 Feedback? Votes on this?
