Easily Sort Posts and Custom Post Types with Drag-and-Drop</p>
<p>Take full control of your post order with a powerful plugin that lets you effortlessly reorder posts and custom post types using a simple drag-and-drop interface.</p>
<p>Customize the order directly from the default WordPress post archive list or use the dedicated Re-Order interface, which displays all available items for easy management. Whether you’re working with default posts or custom post types, organizing your content has never been easier.</p>
<h4>Usage</h4>
<p>This plugin was designed to be user-friendly, ensuring that anyone can easily use its sorting feature, regardless of their WordPress experience:</p>
<ul>
<li>Install the plugin via the “Install Plugins” interface or by uploading the post-types-order folder to the /wp-content/plugins/ directory.</li>
<li>Activate the Post Types Order plugin.</li>
<li>A new settings page will be added under Settings > Post Types Order. Visit this page and save the options for the first time.</li>
<li>With the <strong>AutoSort</strong> option enabled, no code changes are needed, the plugin will automatically apply the customized post order.</li>
<li>Use the Re-Order interface, available for every non-hierarchical custom post type, to change the post order as needed.</li>
<li>For sorting posts via code, include ‘orderby’ => ‘menu_order’ within the custom query arguments. For more details, visit this guide <a href="https://www.nsp-code.com/sample-code-on-how-to-apply-the-sort-for-post-types-order-plugin/" rel="nofollow ugc">Sample Usage</a></li>
</ul>

<p>As you can see, reordering posts is as simple as dragging and dropping, with the changes instantly reflected on the front end.</p>
<p>If the post order doesn’t update on your site, it could be due to one of two reasons: either there was a mistake during setup, or your theme/plugin is using a custom query that doesn’t follow WordPress Codex standards. But don’t worry—we’re here to help! You can report the issue in the forum, where many users are happy to assist, or you can contact us directly.</p>
<p>If you encounter any problems with the plugin, feel free to reach out via the forum or contact us directly through our <a href="https://www.nsp-code.com" rel="nofollow ugc">support page</a>, and we’ll take a look.</p>

Post Types Order

https://wordpress.org/support/topic/post-type-not-appearing-in-list/

https://wordpress.org/support/topic/cpt-does-not-appear-in-the-settings-list/

The admin sort drag & drop still works on these, but not the special interface.

Also, the "Use query ASC / DESC parameter" option does not work well. To get the posts to display on a CPT archive in the order shown in the admin, this option must be unchecked; but with this option unchecked, you cannot use order parameter to change the order.

Doesn't work with CPTs created by certain plugins


hi, tested in a personal custom post type. Work by browser, not in mobile.


Not work in mobile


It helped me a lot to organize my products. But it also helped me a lot to get my filters working with Ajax.
