# reorder plugin menu position

 * Looking for a function that I can use to reorder the admin position of a 3rd 
   party plugin, and that will still work once said plugin gets updated.
 * – Backstory
    AIO webmaster and All In One Events plugins are both forcing a menu
   position of 6. So if you load both plugins, the Events plugin “loses” and disappears.
 * I’d like a function to simply move AIO webmaster from say position 6 to somewhere
   else — best would be to remove the position all together, and have it fall into
   default menu order!
 * In the meantime, I’m hacking the AIO webmaster code from:
 *     ```
       public function aiow_premium_menupage() {
       		add_menu_page ( 'All in One Webmaster', 'AIO Webmaster', 'manage_options', 'aiow-premium', 'all_in_one_premium_webmaster_webmaster_page', plugins_url ( 'all-in-one-webmaster/images/favicon.ico' ), 6);
       ```
   
 * and removing the 6 position
 *     ```
       public function aiow_premium_menupage() {
       		add_menu_page ( 'All in One Webmaster', 'AIO Webmaster', 'manage_options', 'aiow-premium', 'all_in_one_premium_webmaster_webmaster_page', plugins_url ( 'all-in-one-webmaster/images/favicon.ico' ) );
       ```
   
 * ..obviously, this only lasts until the plugin gets updated.
 * Any overriding function ideas to make that change stick?

 * The only way I see is to reassign the global `$menu[6]` to `$menu[]` after the
   first plugin’s code executes but before the second’s. As they probably both hook‘
   admin_menu’ with the default priority of 10, this proves to be difficult to get
   between.
 * Apparently the callbacks of identical priority are called alphabetically, so 
   by careful naming of your ‘admin_menu’ callback you should be able to get between
   the two to institute a fix. Good luck!
