The plugin has been released officially for all of what, two weeks? So, the fact that nobody (and I am certainly somebody) has requested it, until now, really doesn't mean much, does it?

Secondly, yes, there are work arounds, but, they are hardly optimal, and, I think you would agree with that, given the quality of your work (and you have done custom work for me, so I know the high quality of your work).

Thirdly, what "to your mind" arranging the order of a list means, doesn't always translate to how OTHER people work. It simply means we have different work flows. And, while most of the time, looking up and down a list will suffice, sometimes it won't (like in the case of having a list with a few hundred, or even a couple thousdand titles in it). Do you think that trying to find a particular title in a list of say, 2,000 books (for purposes of moving it up or down the list), by "looking up and down said list" is optimal? I think you would agree it is not.

The way I ran into the problem was that someone recommended a book to me very highly and, it was already on my reading list. I wanted to move it to the top but it took me ten minutes just to find where it was ranked, to do so. Again, not optimal.

I realize fully this is still a very young plugin, but, make no mistake, whether or not anyone has, as yet, run into this issue, more and more people will, as their lists begin to grow, and, it is a major drawback to this plugin.
