Description

Order Categories and all custom taxonomies terms (hierarchically) using a Drag and Drop Sortable javascript capability. No Theme update is required the code will change the query on the fly.
If multiple taxonomies are created for a custom post type, a menu will allow to chose the one need to be sorted. If child categories (terms) are defined, those can be ordered too using the same interface.

Also you can have the admin terms interface sorted per your new sort.

This plugin is developed by Nsp-Code

See the Advanced Taxonomy Terms Order for advanced features.

FAQ

Feel free to contact me at [email protected]

I have no PHP knowledge at all, i will still be able to use this plugin?: Yes, this is the right tool for you. The plugin comes with a unique feature to update the queries on the fly and return the terms in the required order without changing any line of code. Or as an alternative you can do that manually.
I prefer to apply the sort through code, how can be done?: Include a ‘orderby’ => ‘term_order’ within your get_terms() arguments.
What taxonomies will allow me to sort?: You can sort ALL taxonomies, including the default Categories.
Is there any way i can get my admin interface to use the custom terms order?: Absolutely, the plugin can do that. In fact you can configure so only the admin will update and the front side template will display the terms as before.
There is a feature that i want it implemented, can you do something about it?: All ideas are welcome and i put them on my list to be implemented into the new versions. Anyway this may take time, but if you are in a rush, please consider a small donation and we can arrange something.
I still need more features: Consider upgrading to our advanced version of this plugin at a very resonable price Advanced Taxonomy Terms Order Order
