Plugins Load 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

Share of active installs on each version of this plugin · 100% 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. A small install base leaves thin data to model from.

   we’ve just installed this little pluggie to check on the Load Ordering functionality of Jeff Sterup’s ‘Plugin Organizer’, which did not store order at the time of this writing. In contrast to its big unwieldy competitor, this little gem right here simply does the job, with a tidy, intuitive interface. Bravo; we hope it lives on. (y) 🙂

   Well done! I was about to setup Plugin Organizer just for this task, but I thought it’s a plugin too complex (with lots of files etc.) just to change the order of the plugins load. Thank you for releasing this lightweight plugin!
