<p>It may be my personal preference, but I really like having the “Featured Image” metabox up at the top of my screen.  I use it almost first thing on every post I write, so I don’t like searching for it.  This plugin will force that metabox on top for the “post” post type.<br />
There’s only one option available, in the regular <em>Media Settings</em> page.  “Allow Users to Customize Order” which is ON by default, can force users (if off) to have their “Featured Image” metabox stuck to the top.</p>
