 * The “re-order” posts page due to a fatal error:
    Allowed memory size … exhausted
   in … wp-include/wp-db.php
 * blog posts are about 3300, but the problem also occurs with the custom post type,
   about 200 records (in this case I deleted about 20 records and the page is returned
   to work)
    on my server the memory limit is 128mb
 * some ideas to solve??

 * This is a memory limitation when your site contain thousand of posts. When the
   plugin try to build the re-order interface, querying the list full list will 
   require more memory.
    You should get in touch with the server admin and ask how
   to increase the allocated memory usage, increasing that to 164Mb or maybe 256Mb
   will make the fix. As alternative, you can try the [Advanced Post Types Order](http://www.nsp-code.com/premium-plugins/wordpress-plugins/advanced-post-types-order/)
   this contain a different method/code of building the lists which can process 
   like 30-40k on such memory allocation without problem. Related help topic can

 * Thanks for support
    Good point for the memory limit, but I also want to take 
   a look at Advanced Post Types Order
