Reorder Posts – Quick Post Type and Page Ordering

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 · 49% run the current release. Green is the current release; a big slice on older versions is a user base that has stopped updating.

Refined from the date this plugin crossed into its current band.

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.

   This is the best post order plugin available – supports hirarchical CPTs, supports children, saves the order on ajax without the need to click a button, has no bloat, simply perfect! Many thanks to the developers.

   Thank you very much for this. The use case fits perfectly for developers indeed. It doesn’t pollute the front-end’s default view and only works when specified within custom queries. Exactly what I needed. Thank you once again, keep up the great work 👍

   The posts were in no particular order when in settings. Was expecting them to be ordered by date like they are in “all posts”. It was random and the other settings wasn’t able to adjust that.

   on most WP sites I’ve programmed it doesn’t work by just installing it… You need a little code tweaking. Not a problem for a developer but I think this type of plugins use to work just by installing them and moving the posts around.

   This plugin was a complete lifesaver for me when I had to clean up and re-organize the content and navigation on a pre-existing website ported from Drupal that had hundreds of pages spread across multiple levels. Also works great with WP Show Posts and Events Manager plugins to display events in proper chronological event date order.
