[wp-hackers] limitations of wp_nav_menu // or what to do with really big menus?

[Malte Witt]

Hey Chip,
wp_list_pages is really cool, I use it alot. The Problem is; how do I 
tell my customer that he can't add pages that shouldn't go into the 
navigation structure without asking me?

<?php 
wp_list_pages('exclude=206,228,230,265,267,269,271,273,283,320,322,324,329,339,344,347,351,418,419,420,421,422,423,466,467,468,469,470,471,472,533,534,550&sort_column=menu_order&title_li='); 
?>
That's the main nav of one of my projects ...  :-(

Also do you change the menu order by tipping 200 numbers into the menu 
order field in the post editor, or how are you able to sort that menu?

Greetings,
Malte
