CGD Arrange Terms

WordPress doesn’t have a native way to control the order of taxonomy terms. CGD Arrange Terms allows you to sort your categories, tags, and other taxonomy terms with a simple drag-and-drop interface. Re-ordering your terms has never been easier!

Features

• Adds a separate sorting table, so no modification of WordPress native tables required
• Low-level sorting means FAST performance and compatibility with themes and plugins without modification!
• Drag-and-drop interface makes sorting ridiculously easy.
• Light-weight. In fact, the main plugin file is only 150 lines!

Version 1.1:

• Complete rewrote plugin and renamed to CGD Arrange Terms.
• Added support for all taxonomies and terms.
• Still works with Shopp 1.2.x and 1.3.x!
• Removed Shopp shipping and payment gateway sorting, as this is really a pretty bad idea.
• No longer modifies wp_terms table (and undoes past modification) (WARNING: This could cause problems if you were running Shopp Arrange / Category Order and Taxonomy Terms Order simultaneously, as these two plugins used the same column name and technique)

1. Upload the directory “shopp-arrange” to the /wp-content/plugins/ directory
2. Activate the plugin through the ‘Plugins’ menu in WordPress

My terms aren’t displaying in the order I chose, what gives?

CGD Arrange Terms sorts categories and other terms by using low level filters on the get_terms() function in WordPress. If something is bypassing this function (probably an indication of a problem), the terms will not be sorted as expected.

Can I turn off the custom term order?

Yes, just uncheck the taxonomy under Arrange Terms -> Settings.

Can feature x be added?

Maybe! Contact me: http://cgd.io/contact
