How to change the taxonomy terms order?
The wordpress taxonomies are an excellent way to manage the custom post types into groups for easy manipulation. Unfortunate nothing come as default to help to organize the taxonomy terms when it come to order. Practically, a basic order can be implemented at the code level, but no custom terms order is available, the codex documentations say:
- id – Default
- count
- name
- slug
- term_group
- none
