Reviews
what people actually sayPost Types Order is a well-regarded drag-and-drop reordering plugin that reliably handles posts, custom post types, and categories for most users, though a recurring minority report it breaking or stopping work entirely after WordPress updates.
What people like
- +Does exactly what it advertises — reorders posts, categories, and custom post types via drag and drop×6
- +Clean, simple interface that is easy to use×3
- +Works with custom post types and third-party tools like Bricks templates (via advanced settings toggle)×2
- +Helps Ajax-based filters work correctly alongside post ordering
Common complaints
- −Multiple users report the plugin stopping working entirely, with no clear cause or fix×3
- −Drag-and-drop does not work on mobile browsers
- −Loading all posts on a single page causes browser crashes when post count is very large (300+)
- −Behavior changed across WordPress versions — previously worked by default per post type, now requires manual configuration for each post type
