Admin menu with different name for first submenu

If you create a admin top level menu, you always have a submenu with the same title.
To avoid this, use the top menu slug as the sub menu menu slug.
It only works with a minimum of 2 submenu entries.

Example:


add_menu_page('My Page Title', 'My Menu Title', 'manage_options', 'my-menu', 'my_menu_output' );
add_submenu_page('my-menu', 'Submenu Page Title', 'Whatever You Want', 'manage_options', 'my-menu' );
add_submenu_page('my-menu', 'Submenu Page Title2', 'Whatever You Want2', 'manage_options', 'my-menu2' );
