altering the admincp navigation order and grouping

[wpeloquin]

i guess in essence what i am trying to do is to do this without adding another plugin or mod. i am assuming that the SuperMenu plugin pulls the array for the AdminCP Nav from somewhere (database maybe?), and just allows you the ability to resort it how you want to.

something determines the spacing/grouping of the items in the ACP nav. something says whether an item will be placed alone, or next to another item, above or below another, etc. This is what i am looking for, that way i can alter the settings/layout there. I only have a few items that i would like to re-arrange, and adding a product to do this is not worthwhile to me.
