I have updated the Alphabetize Menus component to Build #2 by adding some minor functionality (thanks for the suggestion Mark) to allow you to enable and disable the functionality through Admin Server without restarting Content Server.
The ability to change flags, settings, etc., without restarting Content Server is accomplished using something known as preference variables. In this case, I have added a preference variable named EnableMenuSorting. When set to true (the default) the menus are sorted. When set to false the menus assemble themselves in their natural order.
