Post Types Order lets editors drag posts, pages and custom post types into a chosen sequence, then writes the result to menu_order on every reordered post. The plugin's admin gives a per-type drag interface that's perfect when you're inside one post type and useless when the question is "how much of our content is actually sequenced, and which writers leave new posts at menu_order 0?"

SleekView reads menu_order directly across every post type. Title, post_type, menu_order, post_author and post_modified become real columns. Filters compose, so an editorial lead can pull every product with a non-zero menu_order ranked by sequence, or every page authored last quarter where menu_order is still 0, in one screen.

Post Types Order keeps owning the drag interface and the save path. The table view owns the audit surface, so sequencing drift, unordered new posts and per-author discipline stop hiding inside the per-type screens.

Manual ordering is great UX inside one post type and a quietly leaky governance story across a site. Every editor adds posts, most forget to drag the new post into position, and after a year the live archives show carefully sequenced content at the top and default date order underneath. SleekView reads the menu_order column Post Types Order already writes and renders it as a real, sortable, filterable column.

Editorial leads see coverage by type, catalogue owners spot gaps in a sequence, KB maintainers find every article that landed at zero. The plugin keeps owning the drag interface. The table view owns the audit surface, so sequencing drift stops needing a custom report every quarter.
