--------------------------+-----------------------------
 In WP 4.7.5, in wp-includes/class-wp-xmlrpc-server.php, on line 1327, this
 line:

 {{{
 $post_data = wp_parse_args( $content_struct, $defaults );
 }}}

 was changed to:

 {{{
 $post_data = wp_parse_args( array_intersect_key( $content_struct,
 $defaults ), $defaults );
 }}}

 Unfortunately, the new intersection strips out any arguments from
 $content_struct that don't exist in $defaults.

 So you can no longer edit a post and change the "menu_order" field,
 because it doesn't exist in the $defaults declared just before this line.

 Please provide either an updated list of acceptable defaults (e.g.
 including menu fields), or allow for additional fields to pass through to
 wp_parse_args.

 Tested with latest version of WP, and confirmed that swapping the changed
 line above enables/disables the ability to change menu_order in posts.
