Different behaviors

Inserting/moving menu items downwards is enriched by two new behaviors. Moving/inserting rightwards, upwards is the same as provided by WordPress.
Leftwards moving/inserting is a special case. The leftwards functionality is nearly the same as provided by WordPress expect the scenario when
the menu item becomes a menu parent and create a submenu by moving one step left.
The different behaviors can be seen in the Screenshots section.

Same-level behavior

When choosing this behavior menu items will be inserted/moved after submenus. The default behavior provided by WordPress inserts/moves the menu item into the submenu.
If you move/insert a menu item and the next menu item is the parent of a submenu it will stay on the same level, but the position is after the submenu.

Take-children elements behavior

When choosing this behavior menu items will become new submenu parents when inserted/moved if they would become the parent of the submenu children elements.
This is true for downwards/leftwards moving/inserting.

Quick insert multiple menu items

It can be very handy to insert multiple menu items to a specific menu element to create a submenu.

Compatible
