Overview
Order your pages, hierarchical custom post types, or custom post types with “page-attributes” with drag and drop right from the built in page list.
Drag and drop the page into the desired position. No new admin menus pages, no clunky, bolted on user interfaces. Drag and drop on the page or post-type screen.
The plug-in is “capabilities aware” – only users with the ability to edit others’ pages (editors and administrators) will be able to reorder content.
Integrated help is included: click the “help” tab at the top right of the screen.
Please note that the plug-in is not compatible with Internet Explorer 7 and earlier, due to limitations within those browsers.

Cool plugin in itself. Now if only the page attributes would be updated when reordering…..oh wait! I see that they do!
Incredible, so you can output them with a query as intended and give the customer a better experience again. Thank you very much. I registered only for this review.
Thank you !
The best of its kind

We’d struggled for a while implementing custom sort functionality for a long complex list for a client selling cameras … until we found this plugin. All the issues we were having with a competitor’s premium plugin were solved by switching to this plugin. The main thing was that we were able to manually sort on a custom post type whilst using custom filters. Works like a dream.
Does the job wonderfully
