Have you tried:
– deactivating all plugins to see if this resolves the problem. If this works, re-activate the plugins one by one until you find the problematic plugin(s).
– switching to the default theme to rule out any theme-specific problems.
– resetting the plugins folder by FTP or PhpMyAdmin. Sometimes, an apparently inactive plugin can still cause problems.
Why are you using an old copy of WordPress? Were you aware that your site is currently running a very real risk of being hacked? You need to upgrade WordPress asap.

I wasn’t aware of the security risk. I’ll try to get the site upgraded, and then I’ll try the rest of the suggestions. Thanks!

So I updated to the latest version of wordpress and the menu page still doesn’t show indents, but it does indicate which are “sub-items” and has options for changing the hierarchy and moving items up and down with links rather than dragging and dropping.
I looked at the plugins and I think deactivating them would cause problems with the site, so I am going to just leave the situation as it is now.
