## Description

Provides a user interface under the Reading Settings page for choosing what post
element to orderby. Also allows the site owner to chose ASCending or DESCending.

NOTE: Does not allow for arbitrary ordering via drag and drop. This is a simple 
setting.

Once it’s installed, go to Settings -> Reading section, scroll to the bottom, and
choose an orderby and order option.

I’m glad I came across this plugin. It does exactly what the title says and nothing
more which is what I want in a plugin.
