Warn that posts or pages are created alphabetically, not as listed

    In some cases it is important that the new posts or pages are assigned a sequential ID, according to the list that was written in the field provided to that effect.

    If you input

    test1
test2
test3
test4
test5
test6
test7
test8
test9
test10
testSOMETHING
testABC

    posts will be created in this order:

    test1
test10
test2
test3
test4
test5
test6
test7
test8
test9
testABC
testSOMETHING

    To have sequential IDs you should input:

    test00
test01
test02
test03
test04
test05
test06
test07
test08
test09
test10
testABC
testSOMETHING

    As the default behaviour does not match the expected behaviour (posts and pages will be created in the exact order in which they were originally listed), adding a warning message at the plugin’s admin page would be most helpful. That, or adjusting the plugin to make it work as expected.

    Except for that, the plugin works great and does save a lot of work.

    no, it might like so, but it does not work like you mentioned.

    the plugin “walks” trough each input line and performs a wp_insert_post to create the page or post.
    The plugin will not re-order the pages. It will add each page after another, creating a higher page ID every time.

    If you actually see a different order in you post or page overview .. check if the Post ID’s are “random” or asc/descending. I suspect your view is different.
