Reply To: Custom Entry Order Improvements?

Thanks Steven for the thorough response. It helps understand some of the limitations and issues you’re faced with.

The entries should still be shown/listed in the order that was set on
the manage page so you should be able to visually so who is in what
order even though you can not see the actual order number assigned to
the entry.

Yes, you can see them in list view, but if your hundreds or thousands deep (like you mentioned above) then there is no feasible way to count. you can only visually see the approximation of where one listing is compared to another. And since you can only edit by drilling into each entry, you lose track of the order. “Was it 225 or 226 . . . or shoot, was that 325 and 326?” You have to have a very good memory, or jot it down on a list to the side.

It’s definitely alot better than the old way of defining ID in short code.

Having quick edit in list view would certainly help as you noted.

Thanks again for your plugin and support, even listing to folk like us :) – it’s why I’m still using it after years.
