@photoman6300 strange indeed. However, I’m unable to replicate the issue with a simple test of three pages: https://www.loom.com/share/d76dcd241ef84192ac54ce4b865bb652?sid=1bfc3326-d84c-40a4-89b3-99f5cf86b4d8
I installed https://wordpress.org/plugins/simple-menu-order-column/ to check for the menu_order value of the pages and for an item dragged to the last order, the menu_order is always the highest, as expected.
If you install the menu order column plugin, what does the menu_order value looks like for your 36 posts?
Do you have any other plugin or code snippet that is modifying the menu_order in any way?

HI @bowo !
I made some test, and it seems that the problem comes from WPML.
When I deactivate it, order doesn’t change on reload.
I’d be glad to make you a staging for you to play with it, and see by yourself if you want !
Let me know…
PS: The “simple-menu-order” plugin was not showing the numbers, because these pages are from a CPT, and it looks like the plugin only does it to regular posts ans pages. But it made me think that this feature could be good to have in ASE “Enhance List Tables” 😉

@photoman6300 thank you. I just have time to revisit this and tested with WPML. I can replicate the issue you reported. I tried fiddling with the code to fix it, but no success yet. It’s not a simple fix. Are you aware of any content ordering plugin that is compatible with WMPL?

HI Bowo,
Thanks to follow that request.
I tried another well know plugin: Post Types Order. The problem was the same.
After some research, I found that WPML claims (https://wpml.org/plugin/post-types-order/) that the plugin compatible with WPML, is Advanced Post Types Order , which is I think the premium version of PTO.
On their forum, here is what they said to make it compatible:
“The Advanced Post Types Order plugin uses a separate table for storing the order indexes, making it compatible with WPML. Also, it has an option to synchronize the sorting between the site languages.”
Maybe this can help you solve this problem, and why not make this feature a PRO feature.
If you want me to help to test anything, don’t hesitate, I have this problem with 3 clients websites who need sorting feature !
I’m having the same problem.
Also ASE’s duplication feature has problems with WPML. When you duplicate a post (I only tried with a CPT), the WPML language code ($lang[‘language_code’]) is not assigned to the new post. The result is that the duplicated post doesn’t show up in ASE’s ordering list.
