Posts are usually listed in reverse chronological order as they are often used for posting regular time-orientated content.

postMash (by Joel Starnes) lets you customise the order your posts are listed in using it's simple Ajax drag-and-drop administrative interface. Plus it gives quick access to toggle posts between draft and published states. Particularly useful if you're using WordPress as a CMS.

postMash (filtered) provides some key modification tweaks to the original plugin.

1) You can now filter all posts by category & date from the admin panel, where previously you had to work from a full list of all published posts

2) Addition of new function to allow you to call the 'Next Post' and 'Previous Post' links in your 'single.php' theme file to match the order you set in postMash, instead of the default (by date).

3) there is a brief instruction on how to allow viewing of posts in the regular 'Edit Posts' admin window in the same order as they appear on postMash and, if set, your blog.
