Category Order and Taxonomy Terms Order

Description

Order Categories and all custom taxonomies terms (hierarchically) using a Drag and Drop Sortable javascript capability. No Theme/plugins update is required the code apply the customised sorting to the front queries on the fly.
If multiple taxonomies are created for a custom post type, a menu will allow to chose the one need to be sorted. If child categories (terms) are defined, those can be ordered too using the same interface.

Also you can have the admin terms interface sorted per your new sort.

This plugin is developed by Nsp-Code

See the Advanced Taxonomy Terms Order for advanced features.

FAQ

Feel free to contact me at [email protected]

Since I have no PHP knowledge at all, is this plugin for me?

Absolutely, you can!
Unlike many other plugins, you don’t have to do any code changes to make your post order to apply, accordingly to custom-defined order. There is an option to auto-update the WordPress queries so the posts will be returned in customised order. This can be turned off (Autosort) to allow customized code usage.

I prefer to apply the sort through code, how can be done?

Include a ‘orderby’ => ‘term_order’ within your get_terms() arguments.

What taxonomies will allow me to sort?

You can sort ALL taxonomies ( hierarhically active ), including the default Categories.

Is there any way i can get my admin interface to use the custom terms order?

Absolutely, the plugin can do that. In fact you can configure so only the admin will update and the front side template will display the terms as before.

There is a feature that i want it implemented, can you do something about it?

All ideas are welcome and i put them on my list to be implemented into the new versions. Anyway this may take time, but if you are in a rush, please consider a small donation and we can arrange something.

I still need more features

Randomly changes the order on refresh

theorygeorgiou November 15, 2023

Randomly changes the order on refresh. so it’s useless. Not sure if latest wordpress version broke it or what, but this plugin does not work.

Good plugin, but has cons

vertopolkaLF October 2, 2023

I don’t know why, but this plugin installed absolutely break sorting in get_terms() function. Even if custom sorting disabled for queried taxonomy via plugin settings

Does not allow re-parenting
