Real Custom Post Order: Create a custom order for your content

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. 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.

   This plugin implements a tiny but important feature that should be in WordPress core anyway. It works as expected. However, it does nothing more than many other existing and well established plugins in the repository. To make a real difference, this plugin would need the following features: When the user drags a page to a different position, move its child pages alongside instantly (not only after a manual page refresh). Allow to fold/unfold child pages to improve the experience on bigger sites.

   The other two add-ons I know about that do this need you to access a new backend page to do your organizing, this one is much more clever as it gives that ability directly in the direct page/interface for your posts. HOWEVER this one has a major draw back as it does NOT work with WPML. Contacted them several times, they seem not to care so am back to using Nested Pages.

   If you use Elementor Pro and a combination of complex filtering plugins this is the only plugin that actually works out of the box. It also has a very intuitive drag and drop system that prevents accidental reorders.

   We wonder why WP doesn’t do it natively. A must-have for sites with more than 5 or 6 pages! Bravo !
