Easily Sort Posts and Custom Post Types with Drag-and-Drop
Take full control of your post order with a powerful plugin that lets you effortlessly reorder posts and custom post types using a simple drag-and-drop interface.
Customize the order directly from the default WordPress post archive list or use the dedicated Re-Order interface, which displays all available items for easy management. Whether you’re working with default posts or custom post types, organizing your content has never been easier.
Usage
This plugin was designed to be user-friendly, ensuring that anyone can easily use its sorting feature, regardless of their WordPress experience:
- Install the plugin via the “Install Plugins” interface or by uploading the post-types-order folder to the /wp-content/plugins/ directory.
- Activate the Post Types Order plugin.
- A new settings page will be added under Settings > Post Types Order. Visit this page and save the options for the first time.
- With the AutoSort option enabled, no code changes are needed, the plugin will automatically apply the customized post order.
- Use the Re-Order interface, available for every non-hierarchical custom post type, to change the post order as needed.
- For sorting posts via code, include ‘orderby’ => ‘menu_order’ within the custom query arguments. For more details, visit this guide Sample Usage
Example of Usage
As you can see, reordering posts is as simple as dragging and dropping, with the changes instantly reflected on the front end.
If the post order doesn’t update on your site, it could be due to one of two reasons: either there was a mistake during setup, or your theme/plugin is using a custom query that doesn’t follow WordPress Codex standards. But don’t worry—we’re here to help! You can report the issue in the forum, where many users are happy to assist, or you can contact us directly.
If you encounter any problems with the plugin, feel free to reach out via the forum or contact us directly through our support page, and we’ll take a look.
