Comment (by helen):

 > I'm not sure why hierarchicality would translate to "we should order
 posts by menu_order by default in the admin

 I don't know that that's *really* what that says - more that non-
 hierarchical posts are assumed to be chronological in nature, and that
 hierarchical posts are not.

 It's not super clear to me what you want here - since page attributes can
 only be used to set menu order for hierarchical post types, and if a menu
 order is set even without the UI on, it seems to me that you'd still want
 to see them in that order.
