How to spread a list of categories over several columns in a main menu

Hi Guys,

I thought I would be clever and add a new menu item called Brands to my top menu bar http://www.cellar2door.com

The idea is that I can let visitors to the site search for products by brand names. The problem is I don’t want it to be one long list of brands. Is there a way to make the list spread across multiple columns in a sub menu and still keep it alphabetical?

So it would look like this

Brands

All Brands

Brand A Brand D Brand G
Brand B Brand E Brand H
Brand C Brand F Brand I

or like this

Brands

All Brands

Brand A Brand B Brand C
Brand D Brand E Brand F
Brand G Brand H Brand I

Either way would be great. I guess the key is that when I add a new brand and place it then the others would move to keep it alphabetical.
