Installation

The plugin install runs the same way as a regular WordPress plugin. Additional details can be found also on WordPress Repository

  1. Upload the contents of the downloaded archive—specifically the advanced-post-types-order folder—to your /wp-content/plugins/ directory. Alternatively, go to Plugins → Add New → Upload Plugin in the WordPress admin area and upload it there.
  2. Activate the plugin from Admin → Plugins, or from Network Admin → Plugins if you are using a WordPress Multisite environment.
  3. Go to Settings → Post Types Order to access the plugin interface and enter your license key.
  4. Review the additional settings available on the same Settings → Post Types Order page to enable extra functionality.
  5. Use the Re-Order link that appears under each post type menu to create and manage custom sort orders.

 

This is a sample of the Re-Order interface, where you can create and manage custom sorting for your post types:

On the initial installation, the plugin automatically shows a new menu item, the Re-Order interfaces for all post types used on your site, including default posts, pages, and any custom post types. You can disable these interfaces individually through the Settings > Post Types Order.

You can add sort lists to any menu, see Create Sort Lists for more details.
