Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about Post Types Order

Absolutely! You don't need any PHP knowledge to use this plugin. Unlike many other plugins, you won't have to make any code changes for your custom post order to apply. There’s an option to automatically update WordPress queries so posts are displayed in your custom order. If you prefer to handle this manually, you can disable the AutoSort option.

Simply include 'orderby' => 'menu_order' in your custom query arguments.

You can sort all post types you’ve defined in WordPress, as long as they are not hierarchical. This includes default post types like Posts, as well as custom types like Movies, Reviews, Data, etc.

There’s an option to display the custom post order, as defined in the sort list, directly within the main admin post list interface.

All ideas are welcome! I add them to my list for future versions. However, this may take some time. If you're in a hurry, consider making a small donation, and I can prioritize the feature for you.

Yes, you can! To exclude certain queries, include the ignore_custom_sort argument in your custom query. An example is available at Sample Usage

You can use the pto/posts_orderby filter to force the sort. An example is provided at Sample Usage I need additional features like front-end sorting, shortcodes, filters, conditionals, advanced queries, or taxonomy/category sorting Consider upgrading to our advanced version of this plugin, which offers these features at a very reasonable price Advanced Post Types Order
