As of April 2026, I Order Terms is a WordPress sort plugin with 1.0K+ active installations and a 5/5 rating from 11 reviews. It has been downloaded 21K+ times in total. Requires WordPress 3.5+ and PHP 5.6+. Available on WordPress.org since 2013. Downloads are up 131% this week. Top alternative: Rearrange Products for WooCommerce.
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.
The minimum requirement is that you have at least WordPress 3.5 installed.
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' );
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.
Les reviews étaient un peu vieilles, ça fonctionne toujours 🙂
Nice little plugin, love it!
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!
Did exactly what it was built to do. Easy and effective.
Just what I needed to manually organize a group of tags that appear on the page. Thanks for making this 🙂
