Page re-ordering is not reliable

I have been using this plugin for many years on dozens of websites. It’s an absolut must-have for me, and this functionality should become part of WP core in my opinion.

But: Re-ordering pages via drag-and-drop is very unreliable. Somethimes the new order is stored, sometimes it’s not, and sometimes only partially. It’s not specific to a certain WP version or plugin combination, it’s just a general flaw.

Can we do something about this?
