Orientation in menu items can be changed horizontally or vertically using the orientation property. By default, it is horizontally aligned.

CSHTML

@Html.EJS().Menu("menu").Items(ViewBag.menuItems).Orientation(ViewBag.orientation).Render()

<style>
    body {
        margin-top: 100px;
        text-align: center;
    }
</style>
