Screenshots are not accurate
The screenshots for this plugin show that you can access the tree of pages by going to a special page in the admin menu. But that is not what happens. Instead, this plugin adds a full list of all page
Werkt niet met pods
Alleen de standaard wp pagina’s werden vervangen. Maar niet de Pods, terwijl andere plugins deze wel herkennen)
Always on a my install list
Always loved this plugin, thanks for creating it.

Not all heroes wear capes
Should be default functionality in core. The WP default is ridiculous and highly confusing for even technical people with busy taxonomy hierarchies.Solves the issue perfectly, thanks for a useful plug
Very useful
I never understood why WordPress allows sub-items to be shown in a flat order if there are some terms selected. That, to me, is simply a bug. This fixes that.
finaly
Such an odd feature of WP since it leave the others children taxonomies all alone at bottom. I have never really looked for a solution in 10 years but it was time.
