 * I found that the following part in the walker edit file is not saving.
 * <input class=”menu-item-data-position” type=”hidden” name=”menu-item-position[
   <?php echo $item_id; ?>]” value=”<?php echo esc_attr( $item->menu_order ); ?>”/
   >
 * Among all the other menu option variables, only ‘$item->menu_order’ does not 
   change after saving but the others do.
 * I ran ‘jQuery(‘#menu-item-6982 .menu-item-data-position’).val()’ in Chrome console,
   then I got always the number ‘1’. So the menu item(menu-item-6982)’s order (position)
   have not ever saved and it’s always on the top of the menu editor(Appearance -
   > Menus).
 * Why is not JUST this option var saved? And how could I save it?
