Menu Plugin Problem

Hi All-

Love the menu plugin and have decided to use it for a site I run. The client has requested extensive use of subtopics which, thankfully, I was able to add for them with the Menu Plugin.

Under their different main topic areas they have asked to have something similar to this:

Communication >>
   -Problems
   -Reports
   -Bugs

Technical >>
   -Problems
   -Reports
   -Bugs

The problem is that when they try to post a story, and they pull down to their topic area, they find multiple topics labeled Problems, Reports, Bugs and they don't know which one is the one they're supposed to post to. They want to use these names without modifications so the easiest workaround I can think of is to find a way to display Topic_IDs (which have better names) than Topic Names in the Topic Drop Down Menu used in the Story Editor to select which Topic area the story will be published to.

I'm sure this will be a problem for other areas that require this as well. Sadly, I'm "Geeked" but I don't know PHP and I'm hoping somebody can help. Any thoughts?

Thanks much_
matt
