Sort order is not saved

Hi

I have used “Post Types Order” plugin for quick re-ordering, but due to conflicts with other more important plugins*, I cannot keep it activated anymore.

Since I have realized, that the plugin changes the “Order” field, that is also accessible via “Quick Edit” of a post, I was hoping that the sort order was kept when deactivating your plugin.

But instead the sort order got mixed, even though the “Order” value was remained as set by your plugin. Example:

Sorted order (custom post type “Team”) when your plugin was active after re-ordering by drag & drop:

Member A (Order-Value: 0)
Member B (Order-Value: 1)
Member C (Order-Value: 2)
Member D (Order-Value: 3)

Then, after I have deactivated your plugin, the order now is:

Member C (Order-Value: 2)
Member A (Order-Value: 0)
Member D (Order-Value: 3)
Member B (Order-Value: 1)

so completely mixed.

On this screenshot you see the live-example from the website in question. Although the post has the Order-value 19, but it’s displayed on top of the list, even if other posts have value of 5 or 1 or whatever.

Could you please help me troubleshoot, how I can re-establish the correct sort order?

Thank you in advance and kind regards,
Sascha

PS: plugin conflicts have occurred in conjunctional use with Wishlist Member (caused the unendless creation of the default WLM page) and NinjaTables (corrupted the sort order of posts in the table)
