Assign Info Button at the Top
When contributing various assets in Site Studio Designer the Assign Info form will be presented. By default, the buttons to commit are at the bottom of the screen. This is not such an issue the first time I save/commit the content. However, as I continue editing/saving the content I get annoyed by the fact that I have to scroll to the bottom of the page and click Assign Info each time.
I have finally broke down and created a new component that adds the Assign Info button to the top of the page as well.

Alphabetize Menus Update – Build #2
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.
