News menu item seems inconsistent/confusing

I noticed that the first item below the News menu, "Congregation News" (in the demo site, http://demo.uuatheme.org/category/news/) does not have a left-hand navigation menu, whereas every other menu item in the main navigation hierarchy does. This seems to be a bug, since I can't figure out why it should be an exception. I also noticed that the order of the items in the News menu pulled down from the main navigation menu does not correspond to the order that they are presented in the left-hand navigation menu. I recognize that they are generated separately, and that the user presumably can fix this for themselves. The name on the main navigation menu items does not always match what is shown in the left hand navigation and in the page title. You say that it is intentional that the top level item in each main navigation menu should not take the user to a page, to avoid user confusion. Fine. However, I would argue that lack of consistency in naming and ordering would be likely to produce user confusion, too.
