Context matters. If I have an alphabetized list of menu items, then I can find what I want quickly.

Show me a popular application that alphabetizes their menus.

Your very own dahling-Window$ will allow right-click Sort by Name of many menus that invoke from the Start menu. It's a touch of sanity. I always sort after installing a new application. But why that isn't permitted from all other M$ pull down menus is beyond me.
