By Far The Best Sorting Plugin!
by Xander Venske·4 months ago
WP Sort Order is hands-down the best sorting plugin for WordPress. Works great with all my ACF custom post types and taxonomies and also works a charm with Elementor on the front-end, no effort required.
Fahad Mahmood (@fahadmahmood) thank you for a wonderful free contribution. I use your plugin on every site I work with.

Doesn’t support custom post types as it says
by john_6x6·1 year ago·5 replies
I used JetEngine to make custom post types. The drag and drop works, but it does not change on the front end. Only worked for default wordpress post type.

Best all in one Sort Plugin with usefull setting and intuitive interface

Best all in one Sort Plugin with usefull setting and intuitive interface and capabilities/ permission settings
So editors, which are allowed to create new terms/ categories are also allowed to sort the terms. Not common at other sort term plugins with much higher installation base.
Thank you Fahad for this great plugin.

- Fix: When enabling the order of the posts, it does not allow me to create new ones and the only way to create new ones was duplicating a previous post. [Thanks to Carlos][30/10/2024]
