Description
Drag & Drop Category Reorder Pro gives you full manual control over how content appears inside:
• Post Categories
• WooCommerce Product Categories
Instead of relying on publish date, title, or menu order, you can visually arrange content exactly the way you want — per category.
This is especially powerful for:
• Landing-style category pages
• Featured content placement
• Product merchandising
• Seasonal reordering
• Editorial curation
Each category stores its own independent order.
New content automatically appends to the end until manually rearranged.
Pro Features
• Drag-and-drop ordering interface
• Works with Posts and WooCommerce Products
• Order saved per category
• Secure AJAX saving with nonce validation
• Automatic front-end integration
• Reset order per category
• New items auto-append
• Clean, lightweight implementation
• Does not modify core post data
How It Works
- Go to Reorder Content in WordPress admin.
- Select your content type.
- Choose a category.
- Drag items into the order you want.
- Click Save Order.
The category archive will immediately reflect your custom order.
Installation
- Upload the plugin to
/wp-content/plugins/ - Activate the plugin.
