More thoughts on Menu Control

A requirement of the customer is to be able to control the order of menu items. Using one of the built in providers, such as the one used by the built in menu control that is edited via the "site navigation settings". This will enable control of which subsites are displayed, link order, and title. However, this does not enable control of such things for the top level site collections. To do this, I plan to store a list of site collections in a document library, and start the menu build process by looping through those items to create top level links.

Additionally, a workflow might be able to be kicked off every time a site collection is created, tasking the creator to make an entry in the document library. However, the top level sites are fairly static and our created by the dev shop.
