Posts Order vs Sortable Posts

Head-to-head on the signals that matter, from the public WordPress.org data.

Active-install trajectory

Posts Order moved down one install band, 1K+ to 900+; Sortable Posts moved down one install band, 100+ to 90+. That's a single step across the whole window, so there's no trajectory to draw. The download trend below moves daily.
