WP Sortables

Add manual drag and drop sorting for posts, pages custom post types and taxonomies.

Current Project status

This plugin is still in alpha state. This means it is not yet as functional as I would wish it to be.

As for now, any help in the implementation is welcome, but please don't expect it to work properly in a production environment.

Installation

Production (Stand-Alone)

Head over to releases
Download 'wp-sortables.zip'
Upload and activate it like any other WordPress plugin
AutoUpdate will run as long as the plugin is active

Production (using Github Updater – recommended for Multisite)

Install Andy Fragen's GitHub Updater first.
In WP Admin go to Settings / GitHub Updater / Install Plugin. Enter mcguffin/wp-sortables as a Plugin-URI.

Development

cd into your plugin directory
$ git clone git@github.com:mcguffin/wp-sortables.git
$ cd wp-sortables
$ npm install
$ npm run dev
Happy developing!

Usage:

Making Post types sortable

All post types that support page attributes will be made sortable. Additionally you can explicitly specify sorted post types through the sortable_post_types filter.

add_filter('sortable_post_types',function( $post_types ) {
	return array( 'page', 'thing' );
});

Sorted post types are sorted by menu_order in loops by default, as well as in get_previous_post_link() and get_next_post_link().

Taxonomies

As Taxonomy terms don't provide a sorting mechanism by default, the only way to make them sortable is the sortable_taxonomies filter.

add_filter('sortable_taxonomies',function( $taxonomies ) {
	return array( 'genre', 'category' );
});

ToDo:

Support Hierarchies
