Registers taxonomies programtically from a config array and provides other helper functions.
We needed a way to add taxonomies that we rely on accross sites and managing those was becomeing cumbersome. This allows us to manage them via a config array.
The plugin also provides workarounds for limitations in WordPress handling of terms in feeds and post term sorting.
<h4>Sorted Terms</h4>
There’s also a <code>sorted_terms</code> helper function you can use in plugins and templates like this:
<pre><code>go_taxonomy()->sorted_terms( $post_id, $args ); </code></pre>
<h4>Parameters</h4>
$post_id
(int) (optional) The ID of the post you want to get sorted terms for

Plugin can be used for reordering categories, tags and custom taxonomies. This plugin is primarily intended as an aid to theme developers.
Plugin supports multisite installation.
<h4>Requirements</h4>
The minimum requirement is that you have at least WordPress 3.5 installed.
<h4>Example usage</h4>
Fetching sorted terms from a custom taxonomy will be enabled by default:
<pre><code>$terms = get_terms( 'your-taxonomy-name' );
</code></pre>
If you wish to sort by name (disable plugin’s custom sorting) you will have to set ‘i_order_terms’ to ‘false’:
<pre><code>$terms = get_terms( 'your-taxonomy-name', 'i_order_terms=0' );
</code></pre>
<h4>Warning</h4>
Plugin adds a new column to the ‘term_taxonomy’ table, make sure to backup your database before installing. Column is removed when you delete the plugin.
