Bartender 3 item ordering is weird

Bartender 3 and macOS need to get in sync for ordering to work, this may require you ⌘+drag items a few times to set their position. If an item keeps moving back to the right, please try moving all other items around it instead of just that one item, as the other items positions may not have been set correctly.

Bartender 3 is not working with an App?

There are a few things that can cause this:

• Some apps need to be relaunched before Bartender can control them.
• Sometimes you need to manually move a menu item once by ⌘+dragging it, then restart Bartender and it will then work.
• Sometime its necessary to restart Bartender, or logout and back in.

If it still does not work it could be due to an incompatibility, you are best setting the app to "Always show in the menu bar" and send feedback about the issue.
