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

This plugin is intended as an aid to theme and plugin developers.
The purpose of the plugin is to allow arbitrary sorting of terms, similar to pages. This allows queries that 
fetch terms to use ‘menu_order’ as a sort order. Here’s an example:
<pre><code>$terms = get_terms('category', array( 'orderby' => 'menu_order' ) );
</code></pre>
