Custom Post Order

Drag and drop to reorder posts, pages, and custom post types. Apply custom menu_order on the frontend and in supported queries.

Overview

Drag-and-drop reordering for posts, pages, and custom post types using WordPress menu_order. Reorder in the list table, save via AJAX, and optionally apply that order on the front-end main query, archives, search, and/or admin lists. Defaults favor posts/pages with list DnD and front-end main query ordering, while respecting existing explicit orderby when configured. Soft-warns if common third-party order plugins are active.
