Reorder sub-menu items for taxonomy terms?

    This will be a pickle, I apologise, but I hope that you can help.

    I have a custom post type ‘bizdirectory’, with a custom taxonomy ‘bizcat’ and four main taxonomy terms – ‘north’, ‘east’, ‘south’ and ‘west’.

    The list of all posts in ‘bizdirectory’ is extensive, re-ordering them is a nightmare. Would it be possible to create four new options under the admin tab ‘Reorder’ for my four main taxonomy terms? So that the new admin menu structure would be:

    • Bizdirectory
    • Add New
    • Reorder
    • North
    • East
    • South
    • West

    For example: when ‘North’ is clicked, it will show your drag and drop list of all the posts with the taxonomy term ‘north’.

    Any hints or help that you can give on this will be greatly appreciated. Thank you ??

    The problem I see with implementing something like that, is that a post can exist in multiple terms. Then if you reordered in one term, it would automatically reorder (potentially in a strange way) in the other term. I don’t think that would be very user-friendly.

    Having said that, in your case, it would make a lot of sense, since something needs to be in either North, East, South or West, it can’t be in both.

    I’ll check in with Ronald (one of the other developers of the plugin) and see what his opinion is on the matter. It isn’t something we would add by default due to the issues I mentioned above, but if we can easily add it in as a feature under the skin, which you could access by loading the class directly or via a filter, then it may be a sensible thing for us to add. I suspect it isn’t too hard for us to add support for, but I’d need to have a poke around in the code to work it out.

    Thank you ever so much for your though and your consideration ?? It’s niggly of me, but I’d find it very useful. Thank you again! ??

    I’m finding more of a need for this now, would you be adding this feature in for later?

    We aren’t intending to add this feature in sorry. Hopefully there is another plugin out there which can provide this functionality for you.
