Find anything in your WordPress admin in seconds
Sortacular automatically organizes your admin menus so everything is easier to find. Core WordPress items stay exactly where you expect them, while everything else is neatly sorted alphabetically. The result is a cleaner, more intuitive sidebar that helps you move faster without relearning anything.
