Because WordPress displays your posts in the same order that you published them, changing that order can be frustrating. So rather than having to go back and change the date on every post we are going to show you how you can setup a simple drag and drop interface on your posts admin panel to reorder your WordPress posts quickly and efficiently.
First thing you need to do is install and activate the Post Types Order plugin. Upon activation, you should notice a new tab under Settings » Post Types Order.
Here you will find several boxes already checked for you. Select “Save Settings” and then navigate over to Posts » Re-Order. This is where you can change the order of your posts by simply dragging and dropping them in whatever order you wish. If you have any custom post types a “Re-Order” link will appear for those as well.

This plugin just saved me tons of time and yelling at my computer. Thanks!
this plugin removed my banner completely from my site, so I deleted it.
Installed the plugin and seeing the extra Reorder page in the admin. Reordering the posts there doesn’t have any effect though.
Can’t seem to find anything wrong and don’t have any idea to fix it other than I think the plugin needs to overrule the datestamp of each post (or something) to work.

No, you just have to edit the loop in your theme to say orderby=order.
Useful plugin, might use it on my site.
Also, I like new layout of the site. Is it some customized genesis child theme of some completely different customized theme for your site ?
Customized theme for our site.
It looks great, clean and elegant.
Also, I like the this default comment system compared to livefyre
Wow! Wish I would’ve known about this plugin three months ago. When working on a client’s site, I had to re-date over three hundred posts; not a fun gig
Thanks for the article.
I noticed the plugin shows compatibility only up to WP 3.2.2, yet it was updated 11 days ago. Any known issues with 3.3 and higher?
Not that we are aware of.
Wow! Excellent Plugin to have Drag & Drop ordering functionality.
Thanks for sharing.
