## Beschreibung

Easily control the order of Categories and any hierarchical taxonomy with a simple
drag-and-drop interface. Reorder parent and child terms visually in the admin and
choose whether the plugin automatically applies your custom term order to front-
end queries.

### Key features

 * Intuitive drag-and-drop reordering for Categories and all hierarchical taxonomies.
 * Option to auto-apply the custom term order to front-end queries (no theme/plugin
   edits required).
 * Keep the admin term lists in your new order (makes management and editorial workflows
   consistent).
 * Works with multiple taxonomies per post type — switch between taxonomies from
   the same interface.
 * Multisite aware and regularly updated for modern WordPress and PHP versions (
   see changelog for compatibility notes).

### How it works

After activating the plugin, a new Taxonomy Order page becomes available under the
custom post type menu. Simply open it and drag terms into the exact order you want—
including parent/child hierarchy.
 Use the plugin’s Taxonomy Order screen to drag
terms into the order you want. To apply the custom order automatically across your
site, enable the Autosort option — the plugin will adjust term queries on the fly
so your chosen order shows without template changes. If you prefer to control ordering
in code, include orderby => ‚term_order‘ when calling get_terms() to use the plugin’s
order programmatically.

## Installation

 1. Lade den Ordner `taxonomy-terms-order` in dein Verzeichnis `/wp-content/plugins/`
    hoch.
 2. Aktiviere das Plugin Admin-Bereich unter dem Menüpunkt „Plugins“.

 4. Verwende den „Taxonomy Order“-Link, der in jedem Abschnitt von Inhaltstypen erscheint,
    um die Sortierung festzulegen.

## FAQ

Kontaktiere mich gerne unter electronice_delphi@yahoo.com

### Since I have no PHP knowledge at all, is this plugin for me?

Absolutely, you can!
 Unlike many other plugins, you don’t have to do any code changes
to make your post order to apply, accordingly to custom-defined order. There is 
an option to auto-update the WordPress queries so the posts will be returned in 
customised order. This can be turned off (Autosort) to allow customized code usage.

### Ich bevorzuge es, die Sortierung im Code festzulegen. Wie kann ich dies tun?

Füge ein ‚orderby‘ => ‚term_order‘ innerhalb deines get_terms() Arguments ein.

### Welche Taxonomien kann ich sortieren?

You can sort ALL taxonomies ( hierarhically active ), including the default Categories.

### Gibt es eine Möglichkeit, dass meine Administrator-Oberfläche die individuelle Begriffsreihenfolge verwendet?

Absolutely, the plugin can do that. In fact you can configure so only the admin 
will update and the front side template will display the terms as before.

### Es gibt eine Funktion, die ich gerne integriert hätte. Kannst du da etwas machen?

All ideas are welcome and i put them on my list to be implemented into the new versions.
Anyway this may take time, but if you are in a rush, please consider a small donation
and we can arrange something.

### Ich benötige noch mehr Funktionen

Consider upgrading to our advanced version of this plugin at a very resonable price

I have several taxonomies connected to a custom post type called 'activiteiten'.
One of the taxonomies is called 'type-activiteiten'. How do i disable the plugin
from ordening this taxonomy? It's causing trouble with something i want to build.
I do need the 'Category Order and Taxonomy Terms Order' plugin to work for the other
taxonomies, but not for 'type-activiteiten'. Could you please tell me if there is
a php-snippet I can add for this?
