missing menu_position conflicts with other plugins

Since I use a lot of plugins which add menu items to the admin menu I found out that it sometimes overrides other plugins or gets overridden.

The plugins keeps working, however the menu item disappears (for clients this equals to “not working”).

The solution is simple; modify:

file: inc/custom-post.php
line: 33
after:
'supports' => array('title','editor')
add:
'menu_position' => 22,
