external_bar option not honored but works if i type it manually

[Jacob Reed]

I have the following at end of my yabairc:
yabai -m config external_bar all:25:0
and when I reload yabai it covers the status bar at top, but if i type the command into the terminal after reload it works.

Try to move up yabai -m config external_bar all:25:0 to the rest of the config lines.
