About
Sort Taxonomy Terms per Post basis using a Drag and Drop Sortable JavaScript capability.
What It Does
Post Terms Order lets you rearrange the display order of taxonomy terms on a per-post basis using a drag-and-drop interface. Instead of applying a single global ordering, each post can have its own curated term sequence (for example, the order skills appear on a portfolio item). It works across custom taxonomies and is built on a JavaScript sortable library for the drag actions.
Who It's For
This plugin fits site owners who need fine-grained, post-by-post control over how taxonomy terms appear, such as recipe blogs ordering ingredients, real estate listings sequencing features, or training platforms organizing course topics per lesson. It is also useful for editors who want a per-post override without touching global taxonomy order settings.
Who Should Skip It
If you only need one consistent order across all posts, the well-supported alternative Category Order and Taxonomy Terms Order at 500,000 installs will do the job with far less risk. Sites running complex multi-author workflows or those needing active developer support should also look elsewhere given the zero resolved support threads here.
The Bottom Line
Post Terms Order solves a real and specific problem, per-post taxonomy ordering, and its recent update is encouraging, but the tiny install count, minimal ratings, and empty support history make it a calculated choice rather than a safe default. Use it if the per-post granularity is essential to your workflow and you have tested it in staging.
