<p>Just like the way you can create custom page templates, this plugin enables you to build custom taaxonomy archive templates by adding this bit to the top of your file:</p>
<pre><code><?php
/**
 * {Taxonomy Singular Label} Template: Grid
 */
?>
</code></pre>
<p>where {Taxonomy Singular Label} should be replaced with the singular label registered for the taxonomy (for example “Category” or “Tag”). Now when you’re adding or editing terms in that taxonomy, you can choose the desired template file.</p>
<p>You can safely include this plugin in your theme and ship custom templates for taxonomy archives with the theme.</p>

<p>Order all of the taxonomy terms on your site with a simple to use, intuitive drag and drop interface. The plugin works for WordPress core taxonomies — Categories and Tags — and any custom taxonomies you have created.</p>
<p>Activate the plugin, enable your taxonomy on the settings page, and drag and drop the taxonomies into the desired position. It couldn’t be easier.</p>
<p>On the front end of the site your taxonomy terms will display in the order set in the dashboard.</p>
<p><strong>Requires WordPress 4.4 or later due to the use of the term meta.</strong><br />
<strong>Query Usage</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>If you’re trying to query for taxonomy terms (e.g. using <code>WP_Query</code> or functions like <code>get_terms()</code>), and you’d like them to be returned in the order specified by the plugin, you need to add the tax_position parameter in your call. For example: <code>'meta_key' => 'tax_position'</code> and  <code>'orderby' => 'tax_position'</code>. Thanks to @certainlyakey on GitHub for pointing this out.</li>
</ul>


Simple Taxonomy Ordering

I think this is the easiest/best custom Taxonomy order plugin, as it keeps it within the same WordPress admin screen, does not create its own page. 

Simple

Works like a charm - use it

The best drag&drop ordering of terms so far.

Thanks so much!!

Quickly and easily reorder taxonomy terms with an easy to use and intuitive drag and drop interface.
