Wordpress Page Order Plugin for 2.7 & 2.8

“My Page Order” is a Wordpress plugin that allows you to re-order your page links through simple drag and drop.
The original plugin for “My Page Order” is located here:  http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/my-page-order/.  However, that plugin didn’t work for me.  More specifically, the drag and drop feature wouldn’t work, even though the plugin was successfully uploaded and activated.  So, I [...]
