 Hello @knutsp thanks for your feedback !


 yes in fact for the posts I agree, I can understand that it can change the
 default operation and break things with plugins or other. There's little
 point in ordering posts manually.
 The biggest interest lies in taxonomy terms and pages.
 Manual page ordering can be really useful when creating structures with
 child pages, and automatically retrieving all these child pages with
 get_posts() or get_post_ancestors() to create a navigation menu.

 So maybe this orderby wouldn't be present by default but rather as a
 parameter to be passed in query, so it could be applied to any type of
 post-type including posts ?
 For example :
 'orderby' => 'manual',
 'orderby' => 'drag_and_drop',
 'orderby' => 'user_choice'
