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

<p>By default, the sort order for queries in WordPress is descending.  This will produce posts in reverse chronological order, the desired result for most blogs.</p>
<p>In some cases, it may be desirable to have posts in ascending order.  When activated, this plugin changes the default order from descending to ascending.  This affects all queries (home page, archives, dates, etc).  Deactivating the plugin returns the default order to descending.</p>
<p><strong><em>IF YOU DON’T LIKE THE RESULT, IT’S THE THEME</em></strong></p>
<p>How well this works out varies from theme to theme.  Depending on a theme’s navigation labels for posts, things may or may not make sense.  If labels are “Earlier” and “Later”, things will seem backwards.  Some themes make sense either way.  For example, in the “Twenty Fifteen” theme, “Previous” is above “Next”, suggesting list order rather than time.</p>


Default Sort Ascend

This plugin changes the default order of queries generating posts from descending to ascending.
