## Description

The “Settings” section in the WordPress admininistration menu can become confusing
when there are multiple plugins installed. Sort Settings Menu helps by organizing
the “Settings” sub-level menu items in alphabetical order, making it easier to find
the correct settings page.

To use Sort Settings Menu, there are only two things you need to do: install and
activate the plugin. Sort Settings Menu automatically sorts the “Settings” menu 
in alphabetical order without any extra configuration. Sort Settings Menu also works
great as a [must-use plugin](https://wordpress.org/documentation/article/must-use-plugins/).

## FAQ

### Can Sort Settings Menu alphabetically sort other admin menus?

Sort Settings Menu only sorts the “Settings” section and does not have any options
to sort other parts of the administration menu.

A `pluginpizza_settings_menu` [filter](https://developer.wordpress.org/plugins/hooks/filters/)
is available that allows additional menus to be sorted via code. For example, if
you add the following code to your theme’s `functions.php` file or to a plugin, 
both the “Settings” and “Tools” sections will be sorted alphabetically.

    ```
    // Organize the "Settings" and "Tools" menu in alphabetical order.
    add_filter( 'pluginpizza_sort_settings_menu', function( $menus ) {
        return array( 'options-general.php', 'tools.php' );
    } );
    ```
