Custom Sorting puts posts, pages or other content in your own order by dragging rows on their list screen.

The Custom Sorting settings
Settings → Content → Custom Sorting.

Settings

  • Drag-and-drop order: lets you drag rows into order on the list screens.
  • Content types: which types can be sorted.
  • On the site: also lists these types in your order on the site: archives, the blog page, and other lists that don’t ask for their own order.

Sort content

Go to the type’s list screen, such as Pages, and drag a row up or down. The new order is saved straight away.

Dragging works when the list isn’t sorted by a column or searched. Only users who can edit others’ content can reorder.

The order is stored in WordPress’s own Order field (menu_order), which themes and page builders can also use.
