Set a dashboard widget to the top?

Question

Instead of manually dragging and dropping a dashboard widget to the top, is there a way to code it into the widget itself so it's always at the top position?

Thank you in advance

Answer 1

Unfortunately there is no way to force a dashboard widget to the top, however following this link should help you...in a way.

Note:

Unfortunately this only works for people who have never re-ordered their widgets. Once a user has done so their existing preferences will override this and they will have to move your widget to the top for it to stay there.
