We consider Reorder By Term a developer tool. If you do not know what menu_order or custom queries are, then this plugin is likely not for you. This is an add-on to Reorder Posts and requires Reorder Posts 2.1.0 or greater.
Out of the box, WordPress does not support the ability to reorder posts within a term. There are other plugins out there that do term ordering, but they usually create custom tables (which require crazy custom queries and filters) and/or add a column or two to core tables, which is not sustainable in the long-term should WordPress core decide to update its schema.
Reorder by Term uses custom fields, which means you can reorder by term within each taxonomy AND post type. This is insanely flexible.
Since WordPress doesn’t support this by default, when you install the plugin, you’ll have to build the term data. For a lot of posts and terms, this can take a while, but you can limit the build to post types and taxonomies if, for example, you don’t want to touch regular blog posts (with categories and tags).
Features
- Provides a convenient build-terms tool to add the term data to your existing posts.
- Automatically modifies/adds the term data when you save a post, change a term slug, or delete a term.
- Reorder based on post type, taxonomy, and then term.
- Uses custom fields to save data, so you can use get_posts, WP_Query, or pre_get_posts to order your query correctly.
