Yeah, but how does the sorting work if it’s not an enabled page. For instance, If I sort it when it’s enabled then wouldn’t it show on my child menu?

Yes, you would have to exclude the subpages. That’s why the readme suggests to put all modules in a modules folder, so that it’s easy to exclude them from the collection.
