Alphabetizing Menus in InDesign

Ever have trouble finding a particular item in one of InDesign's menus? Maybe you know the item is there somewhere, but can't quickly locate it. Or maybe you just think it was there, but you're not really sure. In either case, you can track down the item faster by displaying menu items in alphabetical order.

To do that, just hold Command+Shift+Option/Ctrl+Shift+Alt before clicking on the menu title. Alphabetizing a menu also removes the divider lines that group related items together.
