How to Change Order of "Forms" Link in WordPress Toolbar [RESOLVED]

The code snippet provided below allows users to change the order of their WordPress Admin Bar (i.e., toolbar) menu items. The one listed below orders our toolbar menu items in alphabetical order from left to right.

It works perfect for all of our items except Gravity Forms. We noticed Gravity Forms is not coded 100% to WordPress standards, so that may be the reason why. We are using the proper Node ID (i.e., ‘gform-forms’) assigned by Gravity Forms, but it is not working.

This is how we identifed the NODE ID: Screenshot by Lightshot
This is what we get after applying the code snippet: Screenshot by Lightshot

Further, we are unable to remove the Gravity Forms menu item from our toolbar using the second code snippet provided below. It works well with all other menu items.

Bottom line, we need a fix for this unique Gravity Forms issue.

Thank you!

		'rank-math',
		'tribe-events'
    );

    // Get an array of all the toolbar items on the current
    // page
    $nodes = $wp_admin_bar->get_nodes();

    // Perform recognized identifiers
    foreach ( $IDs_sequence as $id ) {
        if ( ! isset($nodes[$id]) ) continue;

        // This will cause the identifier to act as the last
        // menu item
        $wp_admin_bar->remove_menu($id);
        $wp_admin_bar->add_node($nodes[$id]);

        // Remove the identifier from the list of nodes
        unset($nodes[$id]);
    }

    // Unknown identifiers will be moved to appear after known
    // identifiers
    foreach ( $nodes as $id => &$obj ) {
        // There is no need to organize unknown children
        // identifiers (sub items)
        if ( ! empty($obj->parent) ) continue;

        // This will cause the identifier to act as the last
        // menu item
