      Test difficulty: EASY

      1. I added a unit test for this; run unit tests for the path: lib/simpletest/testnavigationlib.php (should be green)
      2. Look at existing Moodle pages which use the navigation block. Suggested examples:

      • Course page
      • Module page
        Verify that navigation block still appears as before this patch.

    Description

      When updating navigation, such as in the module_extend_settings_navigation function, currently Moodle only lets you add an option at the end.

      For some plugins it is a usability benefit to add options at another position in the list. For example I have a custom module which includes the 'Turn editing on' option. I would like this to be in the first place in the module's setting block, just as the same option is included in the first place of the course settings block.

      I am coding this, will update with details soonish.
