CGD Arrange Terms

Description

WordPress doesn’t have a native way to control the order of taxonomy terms. CGD Arrange Terms allows you to sort your categories, tags, and other taxonomy terms with a simple drag-and-drop interface. Re-ordering your terms has never been easier!

Features

• Adds a separate sorting table, so no modification of WordPress native tables required
• Low-level sorting means FAST performance and compatibility with themes and plugins without modification!
• Drag-and-drop interface makes sorting ridiculously easy.
• Light-weight. In fact, the main plugin file is only 150 lines!

FAQ

My terms aren’t displaying in the order I chose, what gives?

CGD Arrange Terms sorts categories and other terms by using low level filters on the get_terms() function in WordPress. If something is bypassing this function (probably an indication of a problem), the terms will not be sorted as expected.

Can I turn off the custom term order?

Yes, just uncheck the taxonomy under Arrange Terms -> Settings.

Can feature x be added?

Maybe! Contact me: https://cgd.io/contact

Should be part of Shopp core

This is essential.

Should be part of Shopp core functions

Shopp automatically selecting the lowest price shipping option, has been a bug-bear for me, right since the very first inception of Shopp. I need a free shipping option to be available for certain items. However that means that the free shipping option is automatically selected by default, for every customer that goes through checkout. You wouldn’t believe the number of refunds I have had to perform over the years, because a customer just rushed through; assuming the shopping cart would select the correct shipping option. Can’t believe this has not been made part of the shopp core functions. Really Great work Clif!
