Abstract: An electronic device is configured to display a menu screen. Then electronic device is capable of displaying the menu screen composed of a plurality of main menu items each of which has a plurality of subordinate menu items. The method further includes modifying the displayed menu screen by moving the subordinate menu items in response to a first drag input in a first direction or by moving the main menu items in response to a second drag input in a second direction. The method allows a user to perform a search for two or more subordinate menu items of different groups at a time on a single screen. Therefore, the number of times being key-pressed for a menu search is decreased, and the time required for a menu search is reduced.
