Reorder Posts

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.
