I agree it's quite annoying, but none of the proposed solutions are a perfect fix (Alphabetically sorting can be confusing if you don't even know what the title is for the plugin you're looking for, and that happens allot) I think Plugin authors should do their best to have the least amount of settings panels and give them logical names that describe the functionality of the plugin if its an operation panel (i.ie add photos) and the plugin name if it's a settings submenu (i.e. WP Photo Album) ALso, the amount of settings menus get annoying, and if you have a setting or two in your plugin, perhaps you want to add them to an existing core settings page instead of creating a new page (clearly stating in the read me that the settings for your image related plugin are in the media settings panel makes sense and i don't think it's confusing)
