The Profile menu reordering is an awesome feature that gives you full control of menu items order.
First, choose your role: Instructor or Student.
Instructor has the Main section where you can manage dashboard, announcements, bundles, assignments, memberships etc.
Student tab has the Learning area, which is responsible for all the learning stuff, such as favorite courses, groups, certificates, my orders, and others.
Now you can decide in what sequence your profile menu items appear. All what you need is to drag the one and drop it to the right place. Furthermore, you can disable the items you don't want to be in the menu.
Pay attention please, there are items that have restrictions on disabling or moving. You can recognize them by the special sign on the right side of the item name.
