Post Type Order documentation
Drag items in the admin list into the order you want them shown, for posts, pages or any custom post type.
Overview
WordPress orders posts by date. Team members, services, portfolio items and FAQs usually need a hand-picked order, and editing menu order numbers one by one is tedious.
Plan: Free + Pro options. The options marked Pro below need WP Extended Pro.
Setup
- Turn on Post Type Order under Content Management.
- Choose the post types to enable ordering for.
- Open the list screen and drag items into place.

Questions and troubleshooting
Is Post Type Order free?
Yes, for posts and pages. WP Extended Pro adds custom post types such as team members, services or products.
Does the order show on the front end?
It sets each item’s menu order. Themes and blocks that sort by menu order use it.
It isn’t working as expected
Check the module is switched on and its settings are saved. If another plugin does the same job, deactivate one of them. Then clear any page cache and test again. Still stuck? Pro customers can contact support; free users can post on the WordPress.org forum.
Developers
Post Type Order has 2 hooks. See the Post Type Order developer reference.
