Works really well, thanks a lot!

Randomly changes the order on refresh

By theorygeorgiou on November 15, 2023

Randomly changes the order on refresh. so it's useless. Not sure if latest wordpress version broke it or what, but this plugin does not work.

Good plugin, but has cons

By vertopolkaLF (vertopolkalf) on October 2, 2023

I don't know why, but this plugin installed absolutely break sorting in get_terms() function. Even if custom sorting disabled for queried taxonomy via plugin settings

Does not allow re-parenting

By parakeet on September 25, 2023

Terms cannot be moved outside of their hierarchy.

Makes life easy

By (FlySwatter) on July 13, 2023

Thank you. Saved me hours of work.

Better than it looks

By digitalsmithy on June 23, 2023

Their website is stuck in the 90's and the documentation translated by anxious squirrels - but the plugin itself is brilliant. It only takes a few minutes to set-up and now my client has an easy way to order all the cat/tax/posts however they want (I have both cat and post order plugins). Highly recommended.

A bit buggy recently

By Lazylonewolf on October 2, 2022

Was working well until it started messing up the order of one of my plugin’s (Comic Easel) custom taxonomies. I moved to Custom Taxonomy Order by Marcel Pol in the meantime. Maybe add an option to reset or wipe settings?

Changes don't stick without the plugin

By lucio7 on August 30, 2022

"Works", but categories changes don't stick if you deactivate the plugins.
