He he, good question, lindon.

There was not agreement on this issue in the past (afaik), but it could be a good moment to request some agreement on this topic again, since the list is growing and growing with each release, and new users (at least, besides many of us) don't understand the logics of that (semi-random?) sorting...

Imho, we need an easy way (feature) to re-sort pages under a node (äll children pages) in alphabetical order with the power of a single click in structure administration panel... (I don't know how to do that myself... and structure management need more care from coders)

Another example is that we seem to have lost again the ability to easily add a page to the structure by editing it from the box at the header of a previous (or parent) page in the same structure...
How did you add this page to the structure? (I bet that you have to make lots of clicks through the admin structures interface...)
