Description Vojtech Szocs 2018-04-24 16:56:28 UTC 
When adding action buttons via addMenuPlaceActionButton and/or addDetailPlaceActionButton API functions, UI plugins should be able to specify the relative order of the button, as well as whether it should be placed under the "more" (also known as "kebab") menu.

Example of controlling button order:

  api.addMenuPlaceActionButton('VirtualMachine', 'Test Button', {
    priority: 0 // put this button before all the other buttons
  });

Example of controlling "more" menu placement:

  api.addMenuPlaceActionButton('VirtualMachine', 'Test Button', {
    moreMenu: true
  });
Comment 1 Vojtech Szocs 2018-04-24 18:22:43 UTC 
Updated example on controlling button order (priority renamed to index, according to posted patches):

  api.addMenuPlaceActionButton('VirtualMachine', 'Test Button', {
    index: 0
  });

Attached test UI plugin to ease BZ verification.

Please check plugin code in test-resources/start.html and adapt if necessary.

To verify, check that button placement is correct (see attached screenshot).
