Intuitive Custom Post 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 · 44% 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.

   I had Simple Custom Post Order already in my wordpress site and for some reason this plugin was also there (perhaps left by a theme? Not sure) but the issue this caused was that no matter what I did I could not sort manually the entries in the “Projects” used to populate a portfolio organized in categories that could be sorted in the Bauhaus theme. So while I don’t know if the plugin would work in other cases I can’t recommend it since once I removed it, the Simple Custom Post Order started to work as it normally did before. I thought I should drop a note here just in case this can help others save time and fix the issue if they are experiencing the same problem I had. Cheers! PS: thanks dev for the plugin… maybe add a warning to users stating that your plugin might cause conflict with other plugins doing a similar thing.
