<p>Reorder Posts is a simple and flexible way to reorder posts, pages, and custom post types in WordPress using drag and drop. This plugin gives you full control over post ordering by leveraging WordPress’s built-in <code>menu_order</code> functionality, while keeping the interface fast, and intuitive. For those not familiar with code, the admin settings allows for auto-sorting based on post type. For hierarchical post types, the plugin supports nested pages.</p>

<h3>Who is Reorder Posts For?</h3>
<p>Reorder Posts is designed for developers and site builders who need precise control over how content is displayed. Whether you’re organizing landing pages, structuring custom post type archives, or manually controlling query output, this plugin provides a reliable way to define ordering without relying on publish dates or titles.</p>
<p>Once activated, the plugin adds a “Reorder” submenu to supported post types in the WordPress dashboard. For custom post types that do not have an interface, you can click a shortcut to reorder the post type from within the admin settings. From there, you can drag and drop posts, pages, and post types into the exact order you need. Changes are saved automatically, so there’s no need for a save button or extra clicks.</p>
<h3>What Post Types and Queries Does Reordering Support?</h3>
<p>This plugin works seamlessly with both standard posts, pages, and custom post types. It also supports hierarchical post types, allowing you to reorder and re-nest items like pages or nested content structures. This makes it especially useful for sites that rely on structured content, such as documentation, courses, or directories. For hidden post types (post types that expose no UI), you can reorder these post types from a shortcut within the Reorder Posts admin settings.</p>
<p>Because the plugin uses the native <code>menu_order</code> field, it integrates cleanly with WordPress queries. If your queries already support ordering by <code>menu_order</code>, your changes will appear instantly on the front-end. If not, the plugin includes advanced options in the Reorder admin settings to help override default query behavior when needed.</p>
<p>Reorder Posts does not auto-sort your post types on the front-end automatically unless explicitly enabled in the admin settings. Instead, it gives you the tools to define ordering while leaving implementation decisions in your hands. This makes it ideal for developers who want flexibility without unnecessary abstraction. The admin settings for auto-sorting are completely optional.</p>
<h3>Choosing Which Post Types to Reorder</h3>
<p>A dedicated settings panel allows you to control which post types support reordering. By default, common post types like posts and pages are enabled, while others can be toggled on as needed. If a post type is hidden, with no visibile editing interface, you can still reorder it by enabling it and clicking the Reorder shortcut next to the post type.</p>
<p>For more advanced use cases, developers can hook into filters to customize behavior programmatically. This includes defining which post types are reorderable or adjusting how ordering is applied across queries.</p>
<h3>Reordering Categories, Terms, and Posts Within Categories</h3>
<p>If you need to reorder posts within taxonomies such as categories or terms, companion add-ons are available to extend functionality even further.</p>
<ul>
<li><a href="https://wordpress.org/plugins/reorder-by-term/" rel="ugc">Reorder by Term</a> – Reorders posts/pages/post types by which category they are in.</li>
<li><a href="https://wordpress.org/plugins/reorder-terms/" rel="ugc">Reorder Terms</a> – Reorders categories, terms, and any other public taxonomy.</li>
</ul>
<h3>Major Features</h3>
<p>Key features include:</p>
<ul>
<li>Drag and drop post ordering in the WordPress admin</li>
<li>Support for posts, pages, and custom post types</li>
<li>Hierarchical post type support with support for nested pages</li>
<li>Automatic saving with no manual update required</li>
<li>Developer-friendly approach using <code>menu_order</code></li>
<li>Advanced settings for query overrides and post type auto-sorting</li>
</ul>
<p>Reorder Posts is best suited for users who understand how WordPress queries work or are comfortable working with <code>WP_Query</code>, <code>get_posts</code>, or <code>pre_get_posts</code>. If you need full control over content ordering without sacrificing performance or simplicity, this plugin provides a clean and reliable solution.</p>

Does exactly what it says without adding complexity or additional obstacles. Thank you!

Excellent plugin


Thank you very much for this. The use case fits perfectly for developers indeed. It doesn't pollute the front-end's default view and only works when specified within custom queries. Exactly what I needed.



Thank you once again, keep up the great work 👍


Excellent zero bluff plugin for creating custom order


This is the best post order plugin available - supports hirarchical CPTs, supports children, saves the order on ajax without the need to click a button, has no bloat, simply perfect!



Many thanks to the developers.
