Is ordering at all possible via the orderby and order parameters? If so, where do these go, under filters?
I was assuming that at least the order I connected the posts to a post would stay, but upon reloading the page, it wasn't so. Not sure what order they are behaving by either; it's not alphabetical nor is it by post ID.
Also, just wanted to note how much I LOVE this plugin. Well done Scribu! Quality work as always.
Thanks for the kind words, but I can't take all the credit for this release. :)
On the front-end, you can order them like so:
$connected = get_posts( array(
'suppress_filters' => false,
'connected' => $post->ID,
'post_type' => 'foo',
'orderby' => 'title',
'order' => 'asc'
) );If you need explicit ordering, a potential solution would be to define an 'order' field, which you then populate manually (like ye olde menu_order for pages).
Then, you would have to do some SQL hacking to make use of that custom 'order' field.

I was just wondering something similar - ideally I'm looking for some way to drag-drop the connected posts into order in the admin, then retrieve them in that order every time.
I also wanted to say thanks for this plugin - it was very useful in a recent project of mine.

Scribu, can you help with the example of that, please?
If there's p2p meta_key = "order" and values "1", "2"..etc. how would you connect posts with p2pmeta table? custom SQL query with inner join?
@non_human: There's now an API for that:

The development version (0.9-alpha2) has the drag-and-drop part.
