FAQ

I don’t want some post types to be sortable.

Uncheck the “Order” option in “Show on screen” section on Screen Options tab to disable sorting.

I don’t want terms or post to be sortable.

Use filter. Place in you theme’s function.php file add_filter('Anything_Order/do_order/Post', '__return_false'); or add_filter('Anything_Order/do_order/Taxonomy', '__return_false');.

Why is the post order wrong when using the `get_posts` function?

As you can see from source code function get_posts default set suppress_filters param to WP_Query args. Therefore, filters specified by plugins don’t work. So if you need menu order or order within term add 'suppress_filters' => false to your args.

How do I reset the order?

Select the “Reset Order” option in bulk actions select and click “Apply”.

How do I select multiple items?

Ctrl(or Command on OS X)+Click toggle selection state of current item. Shift+Click select items between first selected item on the list and current item.
