The difference here is that WordPress _does_ have a way to order
pages in core
This is not a way to *change* page ordering but to create pages at a
specific "place" (which can be changes like everything else by editing
the
page)
To quote the actual Page Edit screen in WP 2.5.1:
"Pages are usually ordered alphabetically, but you can put a number
above to change the order pages appear in. (We know this is a little
janky, it'll be better in future releases.)"
Here's a thought. Without implementing complex drag-and-drop, another
easy way to change the page ordering in the admin back end would be to
display an editable column of the existing page order numbers on the
Manage Pages screen. You could update numbers for a few pages at a go,
click "Submit", and voila.
Of course, this Manage Pages screen was already deemed to be too
cluttered to have room for the crucial ID field, so probably the
Powers that Be would be opposed to adding this column too... but it
would be useful.
