Post Ordering Made Easy

It allows you to drag-and-drop your posts to put them in exactly what order you require.  It especially works great for slideshows because, instead of fixing the date to rearrange them, a simple click-and-drag does it for you.

Once you’ve activated the plugin, make sure to save your settings to register them, and then you’re ready to go.  Head over to your post section and click “re-order”, and that will take you where you need to go.
