## Description

Sort taxonomy terms, your way.

WP Term Order allows users to order any visible category, tag, or taxonomy term 
numerically, providing a customized order for their taxonomies.

## FAQ

### Does this create new database tables?

No. There are no new database tables with this plugin.

### Does this modify existing database tables?

Yes. The `wp_term_taxonomy` table is altered, and an `order` column is added.

### Can I use values such as 2.567 to describe a term’s place in a hierarchy?

No. Order values are whole numbers. A term’s parent is stored separately by WordPress,
so use the Parent field to set its hierarchy and the Order field to position it 
among terms at that level.

### Can I preserve a query’s requested term ordering?

Yes. Pass `wp_term_order_override` as `false` to preserve another `orderby` value
for that query. For a supported taxonomy, an explicit `orderby` value of `order`
is always honored. The `wp_term_order_taxonomy_override_orderby_supported` filter
controls only the implicit override of WordPress’s default term-name ordering.

### Can terms be ordered differently for each post?

Yes. Categories and tags support per-post ordering automatically. For a custom taxonomy,
opt in with the `wp_term_order_object_taxonomy_supported` filter. The post editor
will add an order panel for that taxonomy, and WordPress will store the order in
its existing `wp_term_relationships.term_order` column.

Standard template functions such as `get_the_terms()` use the saved per-post order.
A direct `wp_get_object_terms()` query can request `orderby => term_order`. The `
wp_term_order_object_taxonomy_supported` filter can enable or disable this feature
for an individual taxonomy.

### Where can I get support?

This is the easiest way to order categories, tags or terms in a custom taxonomy.
