Biggest opportunity: Swap “table” for “posts sort”. “table” isn't earning its slot: it only gets you to #20. “posts sort” sits at #6 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. All five slots are taken, so one has to go.

How it's measured →2.2%
of downloads still active
At least 3K of 135.8K lifetime downloads are still running, above its category: the median Uncategorized plugin keeps 0.6%, across 17,765 plugins.
Downloads count every update, not just first installs, so older and more frequently released plugins read lower. Compare against other Uncategorized plugins, not across the directory. wp.org reports active installs as the bottom of a band, so the real rate is this or higher.
This plugin shipped 3 releases in the last 12 months, and every existing install that updated counted as another download. wp.org publishes no split between first installs and updates, so we show the raw rate rather than guess at one.

wp.org is where the directory puts the plugin for that search. On merit is where it would sit if results were ranked on rating, support and updates, without the install boost. The last column is how far the wp.org position moved, from our first reading in the last 90 days to the latest.

I bought the Pro version and the plugin works great, well worth the money. There is nothing else out there like it. The support I received has been fantastic and much appreciated!

A great plugin with solid support, lightweight, and easy to set up. It provides an effective solution. What more could you ask for? Thanks.

I don’t usually leave reviews so early, but this thing is so easy to use right out of the box, there’s no reason for me not to! Simple to use, works like a charm, and is easily responsive. If I have a gripe, believe me, I would say so. But, if you’re reading this and you’ve been in my position – needing to tablize your posts with sorting and search features – then install this. I’m sure you’ll be glad you did.

This plugin really solved lots of people’s problem. Thank you!!! But, I come from Asia, so I need to translate some words to chinese. I used loco translate (plugin) to translate, but the pot file was not the latest version. Could you update the pot file? Thaaaaanks

The Plugin Features are excellent but sad to say the Table directory is not showing on my end. Kindly check this issue.

Many thank’s for this plugin that works out of the box ! Lots of interesting options in pro paid version only, but it’s ok to work and eat. Bon courage pour la suite.

I bought the pro version of this plugin and am very happy with it. It is easy to customize and their support docs are some of the best I have ever seen. Well done. The only downside is their support is a bit sluggish. I submitted a ticket and got one response and then heard nothing. I had to submit a second ticket in order to get my issue fixed. They fixed it which is great, but it took multiple tickets. Still though, great docs (which means fewer support tickets), clean code and easy to customize (as long as you are good with shortcode). Nice work Barn2
