Hi @amanvirk1982

Thanks for the question. I found a few tutorials which looked at customizing the menu item order. Then with a bit of PHP, I came up with this code to remove the current ACF item, then add it back in after the dashboard:

function custom_menu_order( $menu_ord ) {  
    
    if (!$menu_ord) return true;  
    
    
    // vars
    $menu = 'edit.php?post_type=acf';
    
    
    // remove from current menu
    $menu_ord = array_diff($menu_ord, array( $menu ));
    
    
    // append after index.php [0]
    array_splice( $menu_ord, 1, 0, array( $menu ) );
    
    
    // return
    return $menu_ord;
}  
add_filter('custom_menu_order', 'custom_menu_order'); // Activate custom_menu_order  
add_filter('menu_order', 'custom_menu_order');
