Manage Page - Change Order by Drag & Drop

    It would be great to be able to move pages and pager orders around with the mouse on the Manage Page screen. Instead of having to input the Page Parent and the Page Order in the Write Page screen - how janky!

    Allow us to move them around like file folders in Windows, and Favorites in Mozilla.

    In WordPress 2.7, there's a "Quick Edit" button that'll let you change the numbers easily. It's a little less janky than what we've had before.

    There's also a decent manage pages plugin I've used before.

    With about 150 Pages on my site and 60 on another site, this has always been a bit of a hassle though. I'm hoping it keeps improving over the current 2.7 implementation.

    I'm not sure if the drag-and-drop method is the best, but some more innovation is definitely needed when ordering pages.

    I seems like it would be better if there were a expand/collapse method coupled with drag/drop to form an organizational function for pages.

    It might look something like this

    Top Level Page-
      Child Page+
      Child Page-
        Grandchild Page
      Child Page
      Child Page+
    Top Level Page
    Top Level Page+
    Top Level Page
      Child Page

    So, Pages with children have a little plus sign next to it when it's collapsed, and when it's expanded its children show up undreneath (indented) in the same format (with plus signs next to child pages that contain children of their own).

    Then, you could expand only the Top Level pages you need, and drag/drop pages where you wanted them to go. You could also drag/drop top level pages around as well, nesting and reordering them the way you want them to appear.

    Just a thought, but I think this would go a long way in pushing WP forward as a page-based CMS. Page management, as is, it painful.
