 Hello @dhenriet and welcome to Trac!

 Thank you for the suggestions. Here is my view:

 Core support for easy ordering of terms and custom post types would be
 nice. Many plugins already do this, like WooCommerce, for products itself
 and their product attribute taxonomies. Bringing this feature to core
 makes sense. This could be an argument when registering them.

 For the builtin post type `post`, the very heart and foundation for
 WordPress, the whole point is ordering by date published, with the
 exception of sticky posts (assumed high importance posts). These
 properties is part of the identity of posts, a design decision, and
 something to be expected. If anything else is needed, then either a
 plugin, or a custom post type, should be used.

 For the builtin post type `page`, ordering is respected by default, but
 since pages are rarely listed, mostly appearing single, or as
 hierarchically ordered, instances, and usually added to menues in the
 desired order, this would be of less use, I guess, but no harm.

 So for all taxonomy terms (built in and custom), I like it. And for all
 custom post types, maybe also pages, by default.
