WP Order By

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 · 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.

   Very nice plugin, that does what it intends to do and nothing more. Uncomplicated UI and compared to drag’n’drop order-plugins I feel more in control with WP Order By. A gem!

   I always enjoy a good and simple plugin – like this one. Does the job without bloat and problems. Also – big plus for an author that updates the plugin with the function you suggested within two days! Doesn’t get more professional than that. Thank you!

   this Plugin is slim and nice. It just does what it’s supposed to do. The Developer reacted very fast to my feature requests.

   I love this type of plugin, something that addresses a very specific need that is lacking elsewhere and does a really nice job of providing the solution. After wasting a lot of time trying to arm-wrestle my themes and plugins with kludgey code while I cast around for a solution, and finding other plugins that only allowed me to manually arrange my post order, this one finally allowed me to select a sorting option from a range of well thought-out criteria. As a bonus, the developer Uri is incredibly helpful and responsive to support requests and suggestions. What more can you ask? Nice work 🙂

   I didn’t found the drug and drop ordering plugins useful in my case because I have a lot of posts and it is exhausting drugging them around every time from the long list I have. this one did the job with some logic instead. thanks 🙂

   I had been using code to sort the posts by title in several of my WP sites. Switching to a new theme recently immediately caused server error 500. I struggled recoding without much luck. This plugin solved my problem without any coding necessary. Now, I can sort my posts by title or any other criteria I choose. Great plugin!
