This issue is a basically a copy of #3222799: Order of toolbar menu items is changed after updating to 1.0.0-beta18 created separately here so that both Gin and Gin Toolbar can be patched.
The order of the menu items is changed.
Was: Content > Structure > Appearance > Extend > People > Configuration > Reports > Help
Now: Content > Structure > Appearance > Extend > People > Reports > Configuration > Help
Per the comment by @saschaeggi in the related issue, this was a desired change:
... But in our A/B Test (with content editors from various clients) found that it was easier for them to find the configuration as it was always 'at the end' of the navigation (especially for the vertical variant). So they don't have to 'scan' the navigation for the config item. That's why this change was made firsthand.
It seems to makes sense to at least let sites opt out of this behavior so that the order is determined by the menu admin UI.
Upgrade from 1.0.0-beta17 to 1.0.0-beta18
Ultimately, if the Gin team feels this is a necessary change, maybe it should be done by changing the actual weights of the menu items so that Drupal core functionality is not ignored and site admins could control it?
For now, we could add a configuration setting for this.
New config field added to settings form.

shyam_bhattI have checked the above patch: 3269548-2.gin_.add-rearrange-menu-items-setting.patch in the theme.
Before adding the patch, the "Rearrange Admin menu items" toggle button is not visible on the gin theme setting page.
After adding the patch, the "Rearrange Admin menu items" toggle button is visible on the gin theme setting page. Once we enable it the "configure" and "help" menus will be moved to the last position.
