## Description

Simple and easy way to order your posts, pages or any other custom post-type in 
a various options, with the ability to define a different order option for each 
content type.

A new menu will appear on the admin side-menu under each content type that is defined
on your site (posts, pages etc.) and it will also be added automatically to future
custom post types you will add in the future.
 In addition, under the _Settings_
menu in WordPress you will find a general settings sub-menu to set global options
for the plugin.

## Installation

 1. Download and install the plugin from WordPress plugin page. You can also upload
    the entire _wp-order-by_ folder to the _/wp-content/plugins/_ directory, if you
    wish to do it manually.
 2. Activate the plugin through the _Plugins_ menu in WordPress
 3. Go to the general settings page under: Settings -> Wp Order By Settings on your
    admin, or directly to a specific content type menu – (_Order By_ menu under posts,
    pages etc.), to define your order-by preferences for this specific content type.

## FAQ

  What if I want to retrieve settings to default?

You should update your settings to the first option – _Date_ and check the _Descending_
order radio button, which is WordPress default ordering.
 You can make the update
for a specific content type (e.g. posts) or from the main settings page under _settings-
> WP Order By Settings_ if you want to make the change for all page/post/post-types
on your site.

  What about support?

You can mail me to [weiluri@gmail.com](https://cor.wordpress.org/plugins/wp-order-by/weiluri@gmail.com?output_format=md),
or create a support ticket at WordPress forum and I will take care of any issue.

Very nice plugin, that does what it intends to do and nothing more. Uncomplicated
UI and compared to drag’n’drop order-plugins I feel more in control with WP Order
By. A gem!

I always enjoy a good and simple plugin – like this one. Does the job without bloat
and problems. Also – big plus for an author that updates the plugin with the function
you suggested within two days! Doesn’t get more professional than that. Thank you!

this Plugin is slim and nice. It just does what it’s supposed to do. The Developer
reacted very fast to my feature requests.

I love this type of plugin, something that addresses a very specific need that is
lacking elsewhere and does a really nice job of providing the solution. After wasting
a lot of time trying to arm-wrestle my themes and plugins with kludgey code while
I cast around for a solution, and finding other plugins that only allowed me to 
manually arrange my post order, this one finally allowed me to select a sorting 
option from a range of well thought-out criteria. As a bonus, the developer Uri 
is incredibly helpful and responsive to support requests and suggestions. What more
can you ask? Nice work 🙂

I didn’t found the drug and drop ordering plugins useful in my case because I have
a lot of posts and it is exhausting drugging them around every time from the long
list I have. this one did the job with some logic instead. thanks 🙂
