 * I reorder the menu, save and it changes the menu order when I’m in the admin 
   menu editor settings. When I navigate away from the settings menu the dashboard
   reverts to default order.

 * To help figure out what caused this issue, could you please provide some additional
   information:
    - Does this problem also affect other menu settings, or is it limited to menu
      order? For example, if you change the title of a menu item or add a new item,
      are those changes also reverted?
    -  Does the menu editor still show your changes, or does it also revert to the
      default settings when you go back to it?
    - Is this a regular site or a Multisite network? Multisite can sometimes have
      a database issue that resets menu settings, but on a regular site that’s very
      uncommon.

 * Single site.
    The editor will still show my changes on the dashboard when I go
   back to admin menu editor settings. I can add and change titles of menus and 
   it has the same behavior of working in the admin menu editor settings but not
   when I navigate away.

 * It sounds like there might be a plugin/theme conflict, or, less likely, a caching
   issue. Are you using any other plugins that customize the contents or appearance
   of the admin menu? Try temporarily deactivating them to check for conflicts.
 * Also, if you’re using a custom admin theme, or a theme that includes custom admin
   styles, try deactivating that as well.

 * No other plugins that effect the admin menu, unless just being added to the menu
   is an issue. Ie; I have installed plugins like MailPoet and Elementor. No plugins
   that customize the contents or appearance. I did change the color scheme through
   wordpress itself but that’s not a plugin, it’s standard.
 * I also tried 2 different browsers. I’m not able to check now but I’ll try clearing
   the cache and retry later.

 * Just adding items to the menu shouldn’t be a problem. MailPoet and Elementor 
   are both popular plugins, so if there was a conflict like this, we probably would
   have seen other reports about it.
 * A couple more ideas:
    - Check the PHP error log for recent errors and warnings. Usually, an error 
      would have more obvious consequences than just menu settings not being applied,
      but it might be a good idea to check anyway.
    - Are there any optimization plugins that might affect when or how other plugins
      are loaded? For example, if there’s a plugin that disables Admin Menu Editor
      on certain pages, or that removes certain hooks, that might interfere with
      menu customization.
