Overview
A simple and easy way to reorder your custom post-type posts in WordPress. Adds drag and drop functionality for post ordering in the WordPress admin panel. Works with custom post-types and regular posts.
We consider Reorder Posts a developer tool. If you do not know what menu_order or custom queries are, then this plugin is likely not for you.

Excellent plugin
by Roman Klabal·1 year ago
This is the best post order plugin available – supports hirarchical CPTs, supports children, saves the order on ajax without the need to click a button, has no bloat, simply perfect!
Many thanks to the developers.
Excellent zero bluff plugin for creating custom order
by Swashata Ghosh·2 years ago
Thank you very much for this. The use case fits perfectly for developers indeed. It doesn’t pollute the front-end’s default view and only works when specified within custom queries. Exactly what I needed.
Thank you once again, keep up the great work 👍

Very Handy! Works Perfectly!

Thank you for this very handy plugin to allow me to provide drag and drop reordering to my client for a custom post type I created.
Not what I was expecting.
by egg21·6 years ago
The posts were in no particular order when in settings. Was expecting them to be ordered by date like they are in “all posts”.
It was random and the other settings wasn’t able to adjust that.
