Comment (by berpasan):

 This plugin has a lot of merit, but there are a few issues (in my opinion)
 that make it not usable to be included in the wordpress core and differ
 from what I am going to implement:

 * It adds another page in the admin are just for page ordering. The idea
 is to alter the page list itself to provide such functionality, and make
 it extendable (the javascript part) so that it can also be use in other
 parts of the wordpress admin.
 * The way it order subpages, even though it works, is somewhat "now
 ajaxian" and would be impossible to implement in the main page list.
 * It uses scriptaculous and prototype, and it is defined by the Wordpress
 team that jQuery is now the "oficial" javascript framework to be used in
 new implementations. Ok, if it was exactly what the wordpress team wanted
 I guess this wouldn't be a big problem, since what is done is done (like
 the widgets, that also use prototype), but it doesn't seem to be the case.

 Anyway, this plugin does serve as an starting point and sheds a few ideas.
 I have overlooked its code, and seems pretty simple. Thanks a lot for the
 tip!
