A simple and easy way to reorder your custom post types within terms in WordPress.

Ronald Huereca

<p>We consider Reorder By Term a <strong>developer tool</strong>. If you do not know what <code>menu_order</code> or custom queries are, then this plugin is likely not for you.  This is an add-on to <a href="https://wordpress.org/plugins/metronet-reorder-posts/" rel="ugc">Reorder Posts</a> and requires <a href="https://wordpress.org/plugins/metronet-reorder-posts/" rel="ugc">Reorder Posts 2.1.0 or greater</a>.</p>
<p>Out of the box, WordPress does not support the ability to reorder posts within a term.  There are other plugins out there that do term ordering, but they usually create custom tables (which require crazy custom queries and filters) and/or add a column or two to core tables, which is not sustainable in the long-term should WordPress core decide to update its schema.</p>
<p>Reorder by Term uses custom fields, which means you can reorder by term within each taxonomy AND post type.  This is insanely flexible.</p>
<p>Since WordPress doesn’t support this by default, when you install the plugin, you’ll have to build the term data.  For a lot of posts and terms, this can take a while, but you can limit the build to post types and taxonomies if, for example, you don’t want to touch regular blog posts (with categories and tags).</p>
<h3>Features</h3>
<ul>
<li>Provides a convenient build-terms tool to add the term data to your existing posts.</li>
<li>Automatically modifies/adds the term data when you save a post, change a term slug, or delete a term.</li>
<li>Reorder based on post type, taxonomy, and then term.</li>
<li>Uses custom fields to save data, so you can use <a href="https://codex.wordpress.org/Template_Tags/get_posts" rel="nofollow ugc">get_posts</a>, <a href="https://codex.wordpress.org/Class_Reference/WP_Query" rel="nofollow ugc">WP_Query</a>, or <a href="https://codex.wordpress.org/Plugin_API/Action_Reference/pre_get_posts" rel="nofollow ugc">pre_get_posts</a> to order your query correctly.</li>
</ul>
