The default can be changed on the Settings/General tab. Clicking on a column header sorts the table on that column. You could use the Screen Options checkbox to make Menu Order visible and click to sort on it.

Yes, but when I change an item’s menu_order, I expect the sorting to reflect that. But it doesn’t. I have to re-sort by menu_order to see the changes.

Your point about taxonomies and menu_order not living together is unfortunate. It seems like something basic to order both the parents (in this case taxonomies) and children (in this case media items).

There are some plugins that relate to documents specifically. Maybe in documents there’s more need for this dual sorting. I’ll try those plugins, but there aren’t many of them to choose from, as I guess they’re much less popular that gallery plugins.

I’m saying it should look like https://www.evermap.com/AutoSplit/MergeSimilar.gif – does it look like that for you?

Thanks for the quick reply!
It’s just that the idea is very similar and it would mean one less plugin to install, one less plugin that’s likely to stop supporting new versions, etc…
