# Menu Position bug

 * I have two Custom Post Types I’d like to appear under the Dashboard menu item
   and above Posts.
 * Under Edit Post Types > Menu Position, Movies is set to 2 and is in the correct
   place.
    However “Coming Soon” is set to 3 but shows below post. Setting it to
   1 bumps it up above Dashboard. I tried all variations but couldn’t get both below
   Dashboard and above Posts.
 * Version 1.10.0
 * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Fmenu-position-bug%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US)
   to see the link]_

 * Not so much a bug, from my perspective, but more how WordPress Core ultimately
   ends up setting their own menu items.
 * Based on the range provided at [https://developer.wordpress.org/reference/functions/register_post_type/#menu_position](https://developer.wordpress.org/reference/functions/register_post_type/#menu_position)
   I have to wonder if they’re implicitly saying that the lowest it’d accept is 
   5, and anything below that is even more unpredictable than it already can be 
   at times.
 * I know that we provide a field to type in the value, and then we cast that value
   as an integer when appropriate, so there’s not really much more we can do on 
   our end for providing that value to Core.
