Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about Intuitive Custom Post Order
No. After activation, items are sortable in the admin UI, and front-end queries for enabled post types are ordered by menu_order ASC automatically—unless you explicitly pass your own orderby.
Specify orderby=menu_order and order=ASC in your query args. WP_Query: <?php new WP_Query( array( 'post_type' => 'your_cpt', 'orderby' => 'menu_order', 'order' => 'ASC', ) ); ?> get_posts(): <?php get_posts( array( 'post_type' => 'your_cpt', 'orderby' => 'menu_order', 'order' => 'ASC', ) ); ?>
Explicitly set: <?php new WP_Query( array( 'orderby' => 'date', 'order' => 'DESC', ) ); ?> For get_posts(), the plugin supports a small switch: <?php get_posts( array( 'orderby' => 'default_date', 'order' => 'DESC', ) ); ?>
query_posts() is discouraged by WordPress core because it alters the main query in a fragile way. Use pre_get_posts (recommended) or WP_Query instead. Example with pre_get_posts to force date order on the main blog page: <?php add_action( 'pre_get_posts', function( $q ) { if ( is_admin() || ! $q->is_main_query() ) { return; } if ( is_home() ) { $q->set( 'orderby', 'date' ); $q->set( 'order', 'DESC' ); } } ); ?>
Yes. For enabled taxonomies, terms can be reordered and are returned in that order on the front end.
Yes. When enabled in Network settings, Sites are ordered by menu_order ASC. Drag & drop in Network Admin updates the order.
Go to the "Screen Options" tab at the top right of the list table and increase the "Number of items per page". This way, all items you want to reorder will appear on the same page and can be dragged to the desired position.
