    Hello,

    Thanks for your great plugin!

    I am using the plugin to list all Categories with posts.

    It seems that order of listing is based on the Categories Name. To control the listing order, I have to add number before the Categories Name, for example:

    1-Category Name one
    2-Category Name two
    3-Category Name Three
    ….. etc ……..

    This makes the listing quite unprofessional, like:

    1-Category Name one
    post1
    post2
    post3

    2-Category Name one
    post4
    post5
    post6
    post7

    3-Category Name one
    post8
    post9
    …… etc ……..

    This could be great if the listing can be order by Categories Description and listing by Categories Name.

    Best regards

    Alex

    Hi Alex,
    the order of Category listing is NOT based on Category Name, but on Category ID order. You can easily install a plugin which will allow you change the category order (i.e: Category Order and Taxonomy Terms Order) and simply drag and drop Categories in the admin site like you want. You don’t need to put numbers in front.

    Dear Fabio,

    Thanks for your help.

    I do not install the plugin, hope that I can control the Category ID manually.

    I play around the Category IDs with the Categories I created. However it seems that it neither order by Category ID in ascending or descending. It seems order in random, like:

    Category ID 4
    Category ID 8
    Category ID 7
    Category ID 3
    Category ID 1

    When I put number before the Categories Name. Then order them by the Categories Name. The listing order that way.

    Thanks and best regards

    I don’t know how are you playing around with the Categories ID, but I confirm that ordering the Category with that plugin, you can change the listing order.

    Dear Fabio,

    I installed the Category Order and Taxonomy Terms Order plugin. It removed all Categories from my multi-site. The even worst thing is that it did not allow to create any Category again! This plugin is really terrible.

    I searched and tried another plugin – “Custom Taxonomy Order”. It works!

    Thanks:)

    Best regards

    Maybe you have some other plugin which is interfering with it. I am using successfully that plugin for 4 years on 3 websites without problems.
    Anyway, I am glad you fixed!

    I have just checked Category Order and Taxonomy Terms Order plugin. It is fully maintained (last mod: 4 days ago) and it has more the 500,000 installations.

    Dear Fabio,

    Yes, I know that Category Order and Taxonomy Terms Order is much more popular and update more frequently than Custom Taxonomy Order.

    Thanks again for your great plugin and assistance!

    Best regards

    Alex
