Post Types 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. 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. The recent download trend is too spiky to read.

Reviewers are overwhelmingly positive about ease of use, clean UI and reliable sorting, with just one recent report of it not working on their WP site.

   I tried several post management tools and this one is by far the smoothest. Clean UI, fast performance, and I love the bulk editing features. Totally worth it.
