 * Is there a good way to sort the URLs, or export them to a CSV or something?
 * I have several sites that have a lot of 404 redirects to manage, and the list
   is getting pretty massive. I want to make sure I don’t accidentally duplicate
   any or be able to keep them in some sort of order so I can find something fast.
 * This is an awesome plugin for a hundred or so redirects, but it gets kinda scary
   when I know I’m going to need to manage a few thousand redirects.

 * Finally had some time to add the requested features for import/export. To keep
   the plugin PHP lightweight, the import/export is done through a textarea using
   javascript, so there would be no impact on PHP performance.
 * Note: sorting is not added because the order in which the urls appear is the 
   order in which the redirects are processed, and you may need some redirects to
   take priority over others.

 * That’s exactly why sorting the redirects could be considered important… even 
   being able to export my list, re-order it and import it again is a big help.
 * If Google reports new 404s to me, and I need one of those new ones to be a higher
   priority than just the last one added to the list, there was no way for me to
   add it higher up in the list, other than move another redirect out and replace
   it with the new one. That was a very tedious process.
 * This import/export feature might solve that problem… we’ll see 🙂

 * Ah I misunderstood you on sorting, I thought you meant some automatic (alphabetic)
   sorting 🙂 The import/export feature should let you make quick changes now, note
   that after you click Import you still need to Save Changes for the list to be
   saved to the database.
