Menu position (admin menu) of pages

Question

Is there a method to change the menu position of the 'pages' post type? When registering new custom post types, you can enter an integer in menu_position but how do I do this for the preregistered post types?

Can I somehow overwrite this?

PS: I need it to be 5.

Answer 1

you cannot put this on position 5 because there is something but you can put it on 4.5 with this code :

add_action("admin_menu", function () {

    $GLOBALS["menu"][4.5] = $GLOBALS["menu"][20];
    unset($GLOBALS["menu"][20]);

});
