Hello! Is it possible to reorder and group items in the backend menu? All i've found is this link https://octobercms.com/docs/plugin/extending#extending-backend-menu , but there are only methods to rename/delete items, not reorder/group items.
Thank you!
I've found a solution, it is not very elegant, but if client insists... In our Plugin.php we can re-activate existing menu items:
public function boot()
{
\Event::listen('backend.menu.extendItems', function ($manager) {
$manager->addMainMenuItems('October.Backend', [
'dashboard' => [
'order' => '1'
]
]);
$manager->addMainMenuItems('October.Cms', [
'cms' => [
'order' => '2'
]
]);
$manager->addMainMenuItems('October.Backend', [
'media' => [
'order' => '3'
]
]);
$manager->addMainMenuItems('RainLab.Builder', [
'builder' => [
'order' => '4'
]
]);
});
}
And we can do this for any plugin we create.

I found what I think is a cleaner/simpler way to order menu items:
Event::listen('backend.menu.extendItems', function ($manager) {
$items = $manager->listMainMenuItems();
$data = [
'October.Backend.Dashboard' => 1,
'October.Cms.cms' => 2,
'October.Backend.Media' => 3,
'RainLab.Builder.Builder' => 4,
];
foreach ( as $name => $order) {
if ($item = array_get($items, strtoupper($name), false)) {
$item->order = $order;
}
}
});
Nice! For ordering your solution is really the best. For ordering, renaming, etc, my ugly solution works too)
