<p>Post Order Control provides an intuitive drag-and-drop interface for reordering posts, pages, and custom post types directly in the WordPress admin. Built with accessibility and theme compatibility in mind, this plugin uses WordPress’s standard <code>menu_order</code> field for maximum compatibility.</p>
<h4>Key Features</h4>
<ul>
<li><strong>Drag-and-drop ordering</strong> directly in WordPress admin post/page lists</li>
<li><strong>WordPress Standard</strong>: Uses built-in <code>menu_order</code> field for maximum theme compatibility</li>
<li><strong>Modern admin interface</strong> with tabbed settings and comprehensive documentation</li>
<li><strong>Taxonomy ordering</strong> for categories, tags, and custom taxonomies</li>
<li><strong>Auto-apply option</strong> to automatically use custom order on frontend</li>
<li><strong>REST API</strong> for fetching/saving ordering with nonce and capability checks</li>

<li><strong>Accessible design</strong> with keyboard navigation and screen reader support</li>
<li><strong>I18n ready</strong> with included POT file</li>
</ul>
<h4>How It Works</h4>
<p>This plugin uses WordPress’s built-in <code>menu_order</code> field to store post ordering:</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>Drag-and-drop</strong> updates the <code>menu_order</code> value for each post</li>
<li><strong>Theme queries</strong> using <code>orderby => 'menu_order'</code> automatically respect your custom order</li>
<li><strong>No custom database tables</strong> or complex queries needed</li>
<li><strong>Full compatibility</strong> with any theme or plugin that supports <code>menu_order</code></li>
</ul>
<h4>Theme Integration</h4>
<p>The plugin provides multiple ways to integrate with your theme:</p>
<p><strong>Method 1: Helper Function (Recommended)</strong><br />
    <code>php<br />
$posts = postordercontrol_get_ordered_posts( array(<br />
    'post_type' => 'post',<br />
    'posts_per_page' => 10,<br />
    'post_status' => 'publish',<br />
) );</code></p>
<p><strong>Method 2: Standard WP_Query</strong><br />
    <code>php<br />
$query = new WP_Query( array(<br />
    'post_type' => 'post',<br />
    'orderby' => 'menu_order',<br />
    'order' => 'ASC',<br />
    'posts_per_page' => 10,<br />
) );</code></p>
<p><strong>Method 3: Auto-Apply (Global)</strong><br />
Enable automatic ordering for all frontend queries in the plugin settings.</p>
<h4>Taxonomy Ordering</h4>
<p>The plugin also supports drag-and-drop ordering for taxonomies:</p>
<ul>
<li>Enable taxonomies in the Advanced settings tab</li>
<li>Drag and drop terms in taxonomy admin pages</li>
<li>Use <code>wp_list_categories()</code> with <code>orderby => 'meta_value_num'</code> and <code>meta_key => 'postordercontrol_term_order'</code></li>
</ul>
<h4>Capabilities</h4>
<ul>
<li>By default, users with <code>edit_posts</code> capability can manage ordering</li>
<li>Optionally restrict to <code>manage_options</code> (Administrators only) via Settings</li>
</ul>
<h3>Support</h3>

<h3>Privacy Policy</h3>

add_filter('knamib_default_slugs', function ($default_slugs) {
    $slug = 'jetpack';
    array_splice($default_slugs, 3, 0, $slug); // splice in at position 3
    return $default_slugs;
});

// Remove an item from the default items list
add_filter('knamib_default_slugs', function ($default_slugs) {
