The Query Posts widget was written to allow users that don’t know their way around PHP to easily show posts in any way they’d like. It’s like having a cool WordPress developer as a friend ready to do your bidding. Seriously.
The widget has over 40 options to choose from. You can list posts by category, tag, custom taxonomies, author, date, time, name, or anything you can imagine. You can choose to show the full content, excerpts, or even a simple list. You can order the posts in all sorts of ways. Oh, and you can even show pages.
This is the widget that keeps users out of the code and gives them the ability to display items on their site how they want.

Order your pages, hierarchical custom post types, or custom post types with “page-attributes” with drag and drop right from the built in page list.
Drag and drop the page into the desired position. No new admin menus pages, no clunky, bolted on user interfaces. Drag and drop on the page or post-type screen.
The plug-in is “capabilities aware” – only users with the ability to edit others’ pages (editors and administrators) will be able to reorder content.
Integrated help is included: click the “help” tab at the top right of the screen.
Please note that the plug-in is not compatible with Internet Explorer 7 and earlier, due to limitations within those browsers.
