Major feature update: reset order, undo, mobile\/touch support, keyboard accessibility, WPML\/Polylang compatibility, and performance optimizations. All free.<\/p>","1.0.0":"
Initial release. If migrating from Simple Custom Post Order, your existing Bracket Post Order<\/strong> gives you complete control over how your content is sorted \u2014 directly from the native WordPress admin screens you already use. No new interfaces to learn, no separate reorder pages. Just drag and drop.<\/p>\n\n A key feature is per-term post ordering<\/strong>: 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\" \u2014 each term maintains its own independent sort.<\/p>\n\n 1. Global Post Ordering<\/strong>\nDrag-and-drop to reorder posts, pages, and custom post types on the standard admin list table. The new order is saved to 2. Per-Term Post Ordering<\/strong>\nFilter 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<\/em>. Assign the same post to multiple categories \u2014 each one keeps its own sort. New posts added to a term automatically appear first (newest on top).<\/p>\n\n 3. Taxonomy Term Ordering<\/strong>\nReorder categories, tags, and custom taxonomy terms themselves via drag-and-drop on the native Changes save automatically via AJAX \u2014 no page refresh needed.<\/p>\n\n Bracket Post Order provides hooks so you can extend or control its behavior:<\/p>\n\n To apply per-term order in custom queries, set The plugin will automatically apply the saved per-term order via That's it. Visit any enabled post type list and start dragging rows.<\/p>\n\n\n Yes. Any post type with When you filter the admin post list by a taxonomy term (e.g., selecting a specific category from the dropdown), the plugin switches to per-term mode. An info notice appears confirming the mode. Drag posts into the order you want \u2014 that order is saved exclusively for that term.<\/p>\n\n The same post can belong to multiple terms, and each term maintains its own independent order.<\/p><\/dd>\n Yes.

Does this work with custom post types?<\/h3><\/dt>\n
show_ui => true<\/code> appears in the settings. This includes WooCommerce products, portfolio items, team members, testimonials, events, and any custom post type registered by your theme or plugins.<\/p><\/dd>\nHow does per-term ordering work?<\/h3><\/dt>\n
Does the custom order appear on the front end?<\/h3><\/dt>\n
pre_get_posts<\/code> and posts_clauses<\/code> to automatically apply the saved order to front-end queries. For global ordering, it sets orderby => menu_order<\/code>. For per-term ordering, it modifies the SQL ORDER BY<\/code> clause using FIELD()<\/code> so your saved order is respected while keeping pagination and other query parameters intact.<\/p><\/dd>\nWhat if I set an explicit orderby in my query?<\/h3><\/dt>\n
orderby<\/code> parameters other than menu_order<\/code>. If your query uses orderby => date<\/code>, title<\/code>, meta_value<\/code>, or anything else, the plugin leaves it alone. This is by design \u2014 your code always takes priority.<\/p><\/dd>\nDoes it work with WooCommerce?<\/h3><\/dt>\n
