Do you want to change the order of categories, tags, or custom taxonomy terms on your WordPress site? By default, WordPress displays taxonomy terms in alphabetical order, and it doesn’t give you built-in controls to reorder them manually. But sometimes you may want to reorder them manually, such as to show specific categories at the top of a list or show product tags in a custom order.
With the Nexter Extension (Free) and Nexter Extension (Pro) plugins, you can easily reorder taxonomy terms.
How to Order Taxonomy Terms with the Nexter Extension Pro?
To order taxonomy terms with Nexter Extension Pro, from the WordPress Dashboard, go to Nexter > Extensions > Utilities.
Then go to the Taxonomy (Term) Order section, enable the toggle and click on the gear icon (⚙).
It will open the Taxonomy (Term) Order pop-up.
Then you’ll see different taxonomies available on your site.
Turn on the toggle for the specific taxonomy (for example, Categories) of which you want to reorder terms.
Once done, click on the Save button.
Then reload the page.
Now you’ll see a menu item Terms Order under Nexter Extension, click on it.
On the next page, you’ll see all the terms of that specific taxonomy.
Now you can easily drag and drop to rearrange the terms, and it will automatically update the changes.
If you have enabled term ordering for multiple taxonomies, you can select the specific taxonomy from the Select Taxonomy dropdown.
These changes will reflect in the backend and frontend as well.
