Biggest opportunity: Swap “drag and drop” for “page tree”. “drag and drop” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “page tree” sits at #5 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. All five slots are taken, so one has to go.

How it's measured →4.2%
of downloads still active
At least 600 of 14.4K lifetime downloads are still running, above its category: the median Uncategorized plugin keeps 0.6%, across 17,774 plugins.
Downloads count every update, not just first installs, so older and more frequently released plugins read lower. Compare against other Uncategorized plugins, not across the directory. wp.org reports active installs as the bottom of a band, so the real rate is this or higher.
This plugin shipped 3 releases in the last 12 months, and every existing install that updated counted as another download. wp.org publishes no split between first installs and updates, so we show the raw rate rather than guess at one.

Very promising, simple to use. It’s a pity that sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn’t. Moving a page to another position sometimes does not work at all, whether moving down or up in the tree, whether it’s just one page or a pages with sub-pages. Sometimes the page seems to be moved to the intended location, but after rebuilding the tree it’s back to its former position. Sometimes, after trying about 10 times, it suddenly works. I can’t find any reasonable explanation for these issues.

Why can’t WordPress do something this good by itself? I’ve been waiting for this for so long now. However, it would be even more perfect if the tree could always be seen fully expanded immediately.
