Prioritize the User group in Personal Data Exports to right below the About group

[allendav]

Right now it can appear all the way at the bottom of the export HTML report, e.g. if WooCommerce is installed and adds things to the export, or if the user has uploaded media.

Might be as easy as setting the priority of the this hook to 0 in wp-includes/default-filters.php

add_filter( 'wp_privacy_personal_data_exporters', 'wp_register_user_personal_data_exporter' );

To test:

• Install this patch
• Install and activate another plugin that exports personal data at higher than default (10) priority, e.g. WooCommerce or ​https://github.com/allendav/wp-privacy-test-plugin
• Capture some personal data, start a new request, start export
• Make sure User group appears near the top of the report, e.g. right after the About group

@allendav Just tested this patch with your plugin and the User group does appear just below the About group

Thank you!

Looks good. Not sure that the inline comment is needed. The commit will describe the issue in detail, but using a priority of 0 is a pretty common and accepted core approach to place hooks at the beginning of the list. I've updated a patch without the comment so the committer can choose.
