Overview

Plugin can be used for reordering categories, tags and custom taxonomies. This plugin is primarily intended as an aid to theme developers.

Plugin supports multisite installation.

Requirements

The minimum requirement is that you have at least WordPress 3.5 installed.

Example usage

Fetching sorted terms from a custom taxonomy will be enabled by default:

$terms = get_terms( 'your-taxonomy-name' );

If you wish to sort by name (disable plugin’s custom sorting) you will have to set ‘i_order_terms’ to ‘false’:

$terms = get_terms( 'your-taxonomy-name', 'i_order_terms=0' );

Warning

Plugin adds a new column to the ‘term_taxonomy’ table, make sure to backup your database before installing. Column is removed when you delete the plugin.

Fonctionne parfaitement

Les reviews étaient un peu vieilles, ça fonctionne toujours 🙂

Simple + Efficient = Brilliant

Nice little plugin, love it!

Perfect!
by Stephanie Walters·9 years ago

I was getting ready to tell my client they would have to choose one order for the taxonomy for the entire site. The ability to disable the custom order with ‘i_order_terms’=>’0’ is so clutch!

Excellent

Did exactly what it was built to do. Easy and effective.

Just what I needed.

Just what I needed to manually organize a group of tags that appear on the page. Thanks for making this 🙂
