FAQ

Does this work for Pages or Custom Post Types?: By default, it only applies to Posts.
You can extend it by editing the plugin code to register the reorder column for other post types.
Will it affect my theme or other plugins?: It changes the menu_order field. If your theme or another plugin already uses menu_order, you should test carefully.
How do I disable the front-end reordering?: Comment out or remove the pre_get_posts action at the bottom of the main plugin file.
