Plugin Manager
The Plugin Manager page provides a single place to install and uninstall plugins created in accordance with the new encapsulated plugin architecture introduced in 1.5.7.
It is accessed using Admin > Modules > Plugin Manager.
The base install of Zen Cart contains the Display Logs plugin, both as an example and as a useful feature. Other encapsulated plugins are available in the plugin library.

Starting in version 2.2.0, the plugin manager shows modules grouped by status and sort order.
Prior to version 2.2.0, the plugin manager sorted modules alphabetically.
