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

Estimated value

What this plugin might earn a year, and what it might sell for. Modeled from public signals; we don't see anyone's books.

Est. annual revenue

N/A

Est. acquisition value

N/A

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.

    when you try to reorder the post, its showing ALL the posts from ALL categories which is not very helpfull for very large sites. In my situation cant say that it helped because posts have similar titles and without knowing which post is on which categories its somewhat… hard to know your way around…

    Sorting posts went OK with Post TYPES Order. However, when it came to taxonomies, nothing was available to sort. Post Terms Order and Taxonomy Terms Order failed to work. Disappointed to say the least.

    Works with our custom posts a treat where other have failed. Tried a few term order sorters and this one was the only one that preserved term category across pages.

    Hope this helps others. This has been tested intensively on lots of WordPress instances.
