I Order Terms

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.

Requirements

The minimum requirement is that you have at least WordPress 3.5 installed.

Example usage

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' );

Warning

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.

Enabling plugin for taxonomy

You can use the settings page or add code in your function file. There are two options you can use to make taxonomy sortable:

1) You can enable sorting when registering taxonomy:

register_taxonomy( 'your-taxonomy-name', 'your-post-type', array( 'label' => __('Category'), // this parameter is used to enable // sorting for taxonomy 'your-taxonomy-name' 'i_order_terms' => true, ));

2) Other option is to pass an array of taxonomies (or tags/categories) via filter “i_order_terms_taxonomies” in your functions file like this:
