# [Plugin: Custom Post Type UI] menu_position in Admin Bar

 * One very neat feature with this plugin (and custom types) is that we can easily
   define their position in the **Admin Menu**, by giving the appropriate number
   to the `menu_position`, as described in [http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/register_post_type](http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/register_post_type)
 * 5 – below Posts
    10 – below Media etc …
 * Unfortunately, this setting isn’t retained for the new WordPress **Admin Bar**,
   where the traditional order is displayed… `menu_position` has no effect here.
 * This has a negative effect on user experience, since we would expect to see our
   Custom Post Types displayed in the same order everywhere across the admin interface.
   Does anyone have a solution?

 * I just noticed that someone filed a ticket on this matter two weeks ago:
 * [http://core.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/19541](http://core.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/19541)
 * So there’s hope that things will be fixed in WP 3.4 🙂
