Yep, it's been confusing for me too, I agree with you, it would be quite logical
to be this way.

Ok, what is the way for a "normal" user to order his/her pages then?

Please solve this problem. (Manage All Content) is not for normal user but
re-arrange pages is.
Hoop this is implemented in 1.10

I am using 1.10.3 with a restricted user (not having manage all content) having
the "reorder content" permission. Unfortunately. the user is still not able to
re-order content in the page overview. Side question: what does the "reorder
content" permission actually do in its current form, what is its use case?

There is a hack how restricted users can reorder content in a very user
unfriendly way: by changing the parent of all involved pages to something else
and then change it back in the order they intend.

Hi,

I've met the same problem. In my opinion, user that can "reorder pages"  should
be able to choose their parent during page edition. This is the same right, but
the functionality is not here. As i don't really know how to make a code
modification proposal, i suggest it here:

in lib/classes/class.contentoperations.inc.php (lines 828-836), add the "Reorder
Content" right to allow pop-up construction:

			  if( $userid > 0 && $one->Id() != $parent)
			    {
			      if( !check_permission($userid,'Manage All Content') &&
					!check_permission($userid,'Reorder Content') &&
				 	!check_authorship($userid,$one->Id()) )
				{
				  continue;
				}
			    }	

Patch made in 1.11/1.12
