 Replying to [comment:35 quanin]:

 > I was thinking a dropdown list for menus, indicating a list of the
 current menus available and aranging it so the new or edited menu is
 placed after whichever item is selected. Naturally, this would come with
 obvious markers for start and end of list, in the event someone wants to
 put a menu explicitly there. With menu items, radio buttons representing
 the current menus available and a dropdown indicating placement in the
 selected menu might be something to consider. In the alternative, I'd be
 onboard with giving both menus and menu items a priority field a la
 [comment:15 comment 15].

 I'm not quite sure if I've fully understood your proposal here. Within the
 individual menu items a dropdown to set the item's parent could be a good
 idea. The links to move items around can I believe only allow movement one
 slot at a time. Whereas a dropdown box could allow more radical moves in
 one go.

 Consider an example from the future - supposing I have a menu structure:
 * Home
 * About Us
 * - Team Members
 * - Sponsors
 * Services
 * - Accessibility
 * - Coding
 * - Testing
 * Find Us
 * Contact
 * Blog

 I create a new page 'Partners' that I want to place within the About Us
 section. When I add the page to the menu it will appear at the bottom of
 the list and using the up down commands only it would take about 8 steps
 to get the page into the right spot.

 However, using a dropdown to set parent I could potentially achieve the
 same with just one step.

 Tweaking the position within a given parent could be a link still or maybe
 a dropdown too (bit like accessible widgets).
