This plugin is primarily intended as an aid to theme developers. Plugin supports multisite installation. #### Requirements The minimum requirement is that you have at least WordPress 3.5 installed. #### Example usage **Fetching sorted terms from a custom taxonomy will be enabled by default:** ``` $terms = get_terms( 'your-taxonomy-name' ); ``` **If you wish to sort by name (disable plugin’s custom sorting) you will have to set ‘i_order_terms’ to ‘false’:** ``` $terms = get_terms( 'your-taxonomy-name', 'i_order_terms=0' ); ``` #### Warning Plugin adds a new column to the ‘term_taxonomy’ table, make sure to backup your database before installing. Column is removed when you delete the plugin. ## Screenshots * [[ * The screenshot of Category section after drag and drop reorder operation. * [[ * Settings section where you can select which taxonomy should be sortable. ## Installation 1. You can download and install «I Order Terms» plugin by using the built-in WordPress plugin installer. Or you can upload plugin folder «i-order-terms» manually to your«/ wp-content/plugins/» directory. 2. Activate the plugin through the «Plugins» menu in WordPress. 3. You will need to enable plugin for taxonomy that you wish to sort. #### Enabling plugin for taxonomy You can use the settings page or add code in your function file. There are two options you can use to make taxonomy sortable: 1) You can enable sorting when registering taxonomy: ``` register_taxonomy( 'your-taxonomy-name', 'your-post-type', array( 'label' => __('Category'), // this parameter is used to enable // sorting for taxonomy 'your-taxonomy-name' 'i_order_terms' => true, )); ``` 2) Other option is to pass an array of taxonomies (or tags/categories) via filter« i_order_terms_taxonomies» in your functions file like this: ``` function custom_i_order_terms_taxonomies($taxonomies) { $taxonomies = array_merge($taxonomies, array('taxonomy', 'category')); return $taxonomies; } add_filter('i_order_terms_taxonomies', 'custom_i_order_terms_taxonomies'); ``` This will enable taxonomy sorting for ‘taxonomy’ and ‘category’ taxonomies. Naturally, you will have to provide your taxonomy names. ## FAQ ### Will this work on WordPress multisite?
