Custom Taxonomy Order

Did you set the option for that taxonomy to use that custom order? Make sure to check it so the filters run

with your taxonomy.

When you use default functions like get_terms or get_categories, this should not be needed.

If you do need to, you can apply the sorting for the taxonomy by using:

‘orderby’ => ‘term_order’.

This function only fetches the ID’s of the terms, so it is impossible to sort them by term_order. If you do need the sort_order, use a function like get_terms with the ‘child_of’ parameter. That will fetch an array of WP_Term objects that can be sorted.

If it is a much used plugin, can you tell me what is the name for the taxonomy?

In the customtaxorder_wp_get_object_terms_order_filter it needs to be added, and the get_terms filter should not run

on that taxonomy. The tag_cloud_sort filter should do that.

If it is a custom taxonomy, you can also use a filter:

There is a bug with the the_tags function, where it will sort according to the setting for categories.

This happens in the ‘customtaxorder_apply_order_filter’ function where the $args has two taxonomies but only one orderby can be returned.

This plugin only supports sorting the attributes/terms. These are the items like S, M and L.

For sorting the taxonomies like ‘size’, you need to sort them on Woo’s attributes page.

For Products Categories, you can change the order on Product > Categories.

There’s a three-line icon next to each category, you can hold it and drag the category up or down to change the order.
