Whaze Term Order for Posts lets developers enable per-post custom ordering of taxonomy terms directly from the Gutenberg editor sidebar. The plugin is entirely code-driven: no settings page, no configuration UI.<\/p>\n\n

For developers:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n

Register a post type \/ taxonomy combination:<\/p>\n\n

add_action( 'init', function () {\n    whaze_term_order_for_posts_register( 'post', 'category' );\n    whaze_term_order_for_posts_register( 'movie', 'genre' );\n} );\n<\/code><\/pre>\n\n
Retrieve ordered terms in templates or REST:<\/p>\n\n
$terms = whaze_term_order_for_posts_get_terms( get_the_ID(), 'category' );\n<\/code><\/pre>\n\n
Features:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n
    \n
  • Drag-and-drop reordering panel in the block editor sidebar.<\/li>\n
  • Order saved automatically with the post \u2014 no separate AJAX call.<\/li>\n
  • Falls back to default WordPress term order when no custom order is set.<\/li>\n
  • Unused order entries are cleaned up automatically when terms are removed.<\/li>\n
  • REST API field term_order<\/code> for headless use cases.<\/li>\n
  • Fully translatable (i18n-ready).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n
      \n
    1. Upload the plugin folder to \/wp-content\/plugins\/<\/code>.<\/li>\n
    2. Activate the plugin through the Plugins<\/strong> screen in WordPress.<\/li>\n
    3. Call whaze_term_order_for_posts_register()<\/code> in your theme or plugin.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n
      \n
      Does this work with custom post types and taxonomies?<\/h3><\/dt>\n
      Yes. Pass any registered post type and taxonomy slug to whaze_term_order_for_posts_register()<\/code>.<\/p><\/dd>\n
      What happens if no order is defined for a post?<\/h3><\/dt>\n
      whaze_term_order_for_posts_get_terms() falls back to the standard wp_get_object_terms()<\/code> result \u2014 the plugin is completely transparent.<\/p><\/dd>\n
      Is this multisite compatible?<\/h3><\/dt>\n
      Yes. The order is stored as post meta and is therefore scoped to each site in the network.<\/p><\/dd>\n\n<\/dl>\n\n\n
      1.0.0<\/h4>\n\n
