Bracket Post Order gives you complete control over how your content is sorted — directly from the native WordPress admin screens you already use. No new interfaces to learn, no separate reorder pages. Just drag and drop.
A key feature is per-term post ordering : the ability to define a different post order for each individual category, tag, or custom taxonomy term. Show your products in one order on “Summer Collection” and a completely different order on “Best Sellers” — each term maintains its own independent sort.
Three Types of Ordering
1. Global Post Ordering Drag-and-drop to reorder posts, pages, and custom post types on the standard admin list table. The new order is saved to menu_order and automatically applied on the front end.
2. Per-Term Post Ordering Filter your admin list by a category or taxonomy term, and the interface switches to per-term mode. Drag posts into the order you want for that specific term . Assign the same post to multiple categories — each one keeps its own sort. New posts added to a term automatically appear first (newest on top).
3. Taxonomy Term Ordering Reorder categories, tags, and custom taxonomy terms themselves via drag-and-drop on the native edit-tags.php screen. The new term order is applied to get_terms() queries and navigation menus on the front end.
