 I am consistently frustrated with the hacks I need to implement in order
 to get my custom post types to show up correctly on the left hand side
 admin areas.

 More specifically I often find that I want to place a custom post type
 above the dashboard or directly below it.

 Currently this is not possibly without some unnecessary hacks.

 My proposal is that we allow the ability to specify/overwrite the menu
 order and the grouping of admin menu elements in a simple way through the
 functions.php file

 This should essentially just allow me to order the admin menu in any way I
 might want to customize it without being so restrictive.
