Posts Order

How well this listing is tuned to rank in WordPress.org search, on the factors an owner controls. Not popularity, optimization.

Directory rank vs rivals

wp.org popularity rank over time · higher is better · when a rival's line climbs above yours, they've overtaken you

How often this plugin actually ships. A steady rhythm is the maintenance signal a single "last updated" date can't show.

Share of active installs on each version of this plugin · 62% run the current release. Green is the current release; a big slice on older versions is a user base that has stopped updating.

Modeled within the band wp.org reports; tightens as we track daily.

No paid tier is visible, so we don't put a figure on revenue or sale value: that would be guessing. The install base is a real asset to an acquirer, just not one public data lets us price. A small install base leaves thin data to model from.

   It orders -posts by category- perfectly. There are many options available for sort data. Simple and precise.

   I was updating some links in old posts and then discovered that they were all reposted at the top of the post feed by the date updated. I tried to change the Published date but it was already set to the original date, which was three years ago, but now appeared as if posted today when it was updated. I found this plugin and set the Post Order to be by the Published Date and everything fell back into place in the order published. Thank you for this plugin!

   This plugin allows you to change the priority of posts depending on which category you are viewing. An absolute must for clients that like to put posts in multiple categories. It works with custom post types and custom taxonomy too. Support is second to none!! Brilliant.
