    Hi Ryan,
    your plugin is really helpful! It would be great to add the following:

    1. POSTS PER PAGE: allow “-1” for unlimited posts
    2. POST ORDER BY: by “Include Posts” order. So it respects the order of the “Include Posts” selection.
    3. Include Posts: Enable drag and drop resorting of chosen posts

    Hi landwire,

    Thanks for using AQL and for opening this topic!

    As to your requests:

    1. Posts Per Page using “-1”: I’ll probably never add this as it has potentially dangerous side effects. For the majority of sites, it may be fine BUT if there is a site that has A LOT of content, there is the potential to take down the site. This issue would only be compounded by the fact that this setting could be combined with a Meta query that would make the the query even more expensive to run on the database. There is almost never a reason to get “all” posts anyway. Displaying a large amount of posts on the page is not the best user experience and you get pagination by default.
    2. POST ORDER BY Included Posts: LOVE this idea. So much so that I just released it as part of the 3.0.0 update – great suggestion!
    3. Drag and Drop for Include Posts: This is a nice idea and would be a much better user experience. I have created an issue on the repo to have a look at this

    Hey Ryan,

    thanks so much for the swift reply and actions! Glad you liked the idea of ordering. Totally understand that you don’t want to query all posts.
