I agree that page reordering should be provided as a plugin, hopefully a core plugin.
Once taxonomy approaches a truly usable state (is it there?), I'd be happy to write the plugin for it. Chris, I definitely was thinking a "drag and drop" UI for the page reordering. This'd probably branch off either the plugin page or the theme page. On May 22, 2009, at 11:45 AM, Owen Winkler wrote: > > Chris J.
