 The current logic for reading `$_POST['position']` can be simplified.
 Instead of relying on value casting or a longer conditional expression, we
 can use `! empty()` for a more concise and readable approach.


 {{{
 $position = ( isset( $_POST['position'] ) && (int) $_POST['position'] ) ?
 (int) $_POST['position'] : '-1';
 }}}


 TO:


 {{{
 $position = ! empty( $_POST['position'] ) ? (int) $_POST['position'] : -1;
 }}}
