add_settings_section() order

    I made on a custom theme for a client. For this theme I created a settingspage so my client could edit some variables to his liking. Works like i want it.

    For this same site I created a Custom Post Type as a plugin. I need the client to be able to edit some variables for this custom post type aswell. So I like my plugin to add an other settings section to my settingspage. I’m using this code in my plugin:

    
function dr_issue_settings_init() {

	add_settings_section(
		'dr_issue_section', //$id
		__( 'Issue settings' ), //title
		'dr_issue_section_callback', //callback
		'mytheme_settings' // page
	);

}
add_action( 'admin_init', 'dr_issue_settings_init' );

    The problem is; this section appears before the theme settings I created before.
    In the global $wp_settings_sections this plugin section is the first value of the array, before the theme section.

    How can I make my plugin section be underneath the theme section?

    All other things being equal, plugins load before themes, so your plugin section is added before the theme’s sections. Make things unequal by adding a late priority number to your add_action() call so that your callback runs after the theme sections have already been added.

    The default priority is 10, so anything higher/later than 10 should work, such as
    add_action( 'admin_init', 'dr_issue_settings_init', 20 );

    Thanx a lot. It indeed was the priority.
