The Taxonomy Sort

Opis

Most commonly taxonomy sorting plugins will create a new interface to drag or order/sort your terms. This plugin uses the built-in view just to make things easier. Just grab the term and drag it to a new position. No more extra clicks – everything is saved after repositioning!

The order is applied to term queries that did not ask for an order of their own. A query that explicitly sorts by count, slug, term order or anything else gets what it asked for, so themes and plugins that sort terms themselves are left alone.

Instalacja

  1. Upload the-taxonomy-sort/ folder to the /wp-content/plugins/ directory
  2. Activate the plugin through the 'Plugins’ menu in WordPress
  3. Go to taxonomy page (for example Posts -> Categories) and drag the table rows to change ordering.

Najczęściej zadawane pytania

Is there a way to disable it for some taxonomies?

Yes, as of version 2.1. Return the taxonomies it should apply to, and it applies to no others:

add_filter( 'the_taxonomy_sort_define_taxonomies', function () {
    return array( 'category', 'product_cat' );
} );

For a decision per query – one taxonomy sorted in the admin but not on the front end, say – there is the_taxonomy_sort_is_sortable:

add_filter( 'the_taxonomy_sort_is_sortable', function ( $sortable, $taxonomies, $args ) {
    return is_admin() ? $sortable : false;
}, 10, 3 );

Does it work with hierarchical taxonomies?

Yes. Terms are ordered among their siblings; WordPress still nests children under their parent, so dragging a child to the top of the list moves it to the top of its own branch.

Who is allowed to reorder terms?

Whoever may manage that taxonomy’s terms – the same capability WordPress checks before showing the taxonomy screen.

I would advise against using this plugin. In the latest WordPress update, selected categories are no longer displayed on the posts page. Deactivating the plugin shows the selected categories once again. It’s too bad, this was a useful tool.

2.1

  • Fix: term queries that ask for ids, names or slugs came back empty, which emptied tag autocomplete, WooCommerce attribute terms and anything else built on them
  • Fix: two terms sharing a position made one of them disappear from every list
  • Fix: the sorting no longer costs one database query per term – it is done in SQL, in the query that was going to run anyway
  • Fix: dragging on page two of a paginated taxonomy no longer renumbers over page one, which is what made the last terms of a long list look unsortable
  • Fix: rows can be dragged past the bottom of the table again
  • Fix: uninstalling now removes the order it saved (it was deleting post meta, where nothing was ever stored)
  • Security: saving an order now requires a nonce and the capability to manage that taxonomy’s terms; any logged-in user could previously reorder every term on the site
  • Feature: the_taxonomy_sort_define_taxonomies and the_taxonomy_sort_is_sortable filters to limit where the order applies
  • Queries that ask for a specific order are left alone, so term sorting done by themes and other plugins keeps working
  • Tested against PHP 8.4 and WordPress 7.1
