 * Hi there,
 * I really like this plugin, but after using it for about a year, I’ve discovered
   a couple of issues:
 * **1) Permalinks aren’t being generated correctly.** When I create a new Article
   titled “Create Your Own Document” (For example) the permalink will be “mysite.
   com/knowledgebase/create-document”. Why is it stripping out those two words? 
   And how can this be fixed, so that it adds all of the words in the title, like
   most other WordPress post types do?
 * **2) Article Ordering doesn’t work properly.** If I setup the Article Order using
   the Drag and Drop settings. As soon as I add a new Article, it just adds it into
   the list in a Random order. And since I have over 70 Articles now (With a lot
   more to add), I have to search for the new Article on the list before I can drag
   it into the correct order.
 * This could work in a much easier way. The Drag and Drop interface for the Category
   Order is great, but not for the individual Articles within those categories. 
   The simple way to do this, is to create a custom metabox for setting the order
   within the Edit/Add Article screen. Then, when displaying Articles within their
   Categories, they will be listed based on the priority/order number saved in each
   post’s custom article_order post meta.
 * This is a simple solution to a huge problem. And I’d be happy to help build this
   if you want to work with me in making this change.
 * Let me know what you think.
 * Thanks
