You can do do something like this from your branding module's layer.xml file:
<filesystem>
<folder name="Menu">
<folder name="Admin">
<attr name="position" intvalue="205"/>
</folder>
</folder>
</filesystem>
You can also expand the layer.xml file from within NetBeans and see "this layer
in context", then right-click an existing menu item and click Go to Declaration
to see the position of the other menus items.

Subject: NetBeans Platform Application - Set Position of Menu Within the Menu
Bar
I am using NetBeans IDE 20 and have a Maven project that has numerous
TopComponent windows. I want to set the position on the menu bar where the
module menu appears. By default the Admin menu shows at the far left on the
menu bar but I want it just past the Edit menu.
The TopComponent code is as follows:
@ActionID(category = "Admin", id =
"org.drsolutions.dro.base.OperatorListTopComponent")
@ActionReferences({
@ActionReference(path = "Menu/Admin", position = 200),
@ActionReference(path = "Toolbars/Admin", position = 200)
})
Is there some way to place the Admin menu the same way menuitems are placed
within the menu with a position attribute?
