Brian Perry, in a recent blog post, highlighted two Drupal modules, Big Menu and Menu Select, as effective solutions for managing large and unwieldy menus in Drupal sites. Big Menu simplifies menu administration by focusing on one menu level at a time, reducing cognitive load and making navigation adjustments more manageable. Menu Select improves the experience of assigning parent menu items by replacing long dropdown lists with an autocomplete search and a collapsible hierarchical list.

Brian Perry also mentioned the Menu Firstchild module, which allows a menu item to link directly to its first child, offering additional grouping options without adopting a mega menu style. These tools, used together, address common challenges with large menus and provide a more user-friendly administration experience.
