Is there an easy way to move an admin group (globals) to the top?

  looking into it rn!

  
  

  
  

  @iamlinkus so it seems you can make sure globals are at the top if you put the collections in a group, and make sure the globals are not in a group

  
  

  
  

  Other than that tricky, because all collections are generally added first:

  https://github.com/AlessioGr/payload/blob/bab34d82f5fddad32ceafd116ad97e87cab4c862/src/admin/components/elements/Nav/index.tsx#L50
  

  
  

  and the groups are iterated over only after all collections were handled

  
  

  
  

  might need to be a feature request to be able to customize the position of them better

  Yeah, I tried that, but then the "group" defaults to "Globals" which is misleading for our clients and we're usually adding one other group for globals which includes footer/header/seo/etc.

  
  

  
  

  thanks for looking into it, though!

  Yea it's not optimal. Havent found a better hack though.

  
  
  

  You could post it in GH Discussions and mark it as feature request there!

  As a temporary hack, you could just add some css. 😊

  
  

  #nav-group-Pages { order: -1 }

  I'm actually having the opposite problem! I want my Globals to show up below my Collections but either way (if I do or do not provide a

  group

  property) Globals are appearing at the top of the nav bar in Payload v1.8.2.
