Hacking joomla core (categorize joomla modules under assigned menu)

Most of the time we have to face many difficulties search specific joomla modules that assigned to specific menu item. Currently (joomla 1.5x) joomla provide categorization of modules under fallowing four way
  1. According to template
  2. According to Position
  3. According to Type
  4. According to State
My new modification will add another categorization for module as According to assigned menu. This is simple add stride forward.

Step 01:
Go to administrator\components\com_modules\toolbar.modules.html.php and past as fallow
Existing one (line 49)
echo $lists['assigned'];
   echo $lists['position'];
   echo $lists['type'];
   echo $lists['state'];
After modified
   echo $lists['assigned'];    
   echo $lists['position'];    
   echo $lists['type'];    
   echo $lists['state'];                         
   echo $lists['menu'];

Step 02:
Go to  administrator\components\com_modules\toolbar.modules.html.php and add fallowing(After line: 64)  
                        
$filter_menu = $mainframe->getUserStateFromRequest( $option.'filter_menu','filter_menu','','cmd' );

Go to  administrator\components\com_modules\toolbar.modules.html.php and add fallowing(After line: 95)

if ( $filter_menu ) {
   $where[] = 'mm.menuid = '.$db->Quote($filter_menu);
}

Go to  administrator\components\com_modules\toolbar.modules.html.php and add fallowing(After line: 174)

$query = 'SELECT id AS value, name AS text'
  . ' FROM #__menu';
  $db->setQuery( $query );
  $menu[]   = JHTML::_('select.option',  '0', '- '. JText::_( 'Select Menu' ) .' -' );
  $menu    = array_merge( $types, $db->loadObjectList() );
  $lists['menu'] = JHTML::_('select.genericlist',   $menu, 'filter_menu', 'class="inputbox" size="1" onchange="this.form.submit()"', 'value', 'text', "$filter_menu" );

now that is enough.
