## تفصیل

Post Order Control provides an intuitive drag-and-drop interface for reordering 
posts, pages, and custom post types directly in the WordPress admin. Built with 
accessibility and theme compatibility in mind, this plugin uses WordPress’s standard`
menu_order` field for maximum compatibility.

#### Key Features

 * **Drag-and-drop ordering** directly in WordPress admin post/page lists
 * **WordPress Standard**: Uses built-in `menu_order` field for maximum theme compatibility
 * **Modern admin interface** with tabbed settings and comprehensive documentation
 * **Taxonomy ordering** for categories, tags, and custom taxonomies
 * **Auto-apply option** to automatically use custom order on frontend
 * **REST API** for fetching/saving ordering with nonce and capability checks
 * **Helper function** `postordercontrol_get_ordered_posts()` for easy theme integration
 * **Export/Import** functionality for backing up ordering data
 * **Accessible design** with keyboard navigation and screen reader support
 * **I18n ready** with included POT file

#### How It Works

This plugin uses WordPress’s built-in `menu_order` field to store post ordering:

 * **Drag-and-drop** updates the `menu_order` value for each post
 * **Theme queries** using `orderby => 'menu_order'` automatically respect your 
   custom order
 * **No custom database tables** or complex queries needed
 * **Full compatibility** with any theme or plugin that supports `menu_order`

#### Theme Integration

The plugin provides multiple ways to integrate with your theme:

**Method 1: Helper Function (Recommended)**
 `php $posts = postordercontrol_get_ordered_posts(
array( 'post_type' => 'post', 'posts_per_page' => 10, 'post_status' => 'publish',));

**Method 2: Standard WP_Query**
 `php $query = new WP_Query( array( 'post_type' 
=> 'post', 'orderby' => 'menu_order', 'order' => 'ASC', 'posts_per_page' => 10, ));

**Method 3: Auto-Apply (Global)**
 Enable automatic ordering for all frontend queries
in the plugin settings.

#### Taxonomy Ordering

The plugin also supports drag-and-drop ordering for taxonomies:

 * Enable taxonomies in the Advanced settings tab
 * Drag and drop terms in taxonomy admin pages
 * Use `wp_list_categories()` with `orderby => 'meta_value_num'` and `meta_key =
   > 'postordercontrol_term_order'`

#### Capabilities

 * By default, users with `edit_posts` capability can manage ordering
 * Optionally restrict to `manage_options` (Administrators only) via Settings

### Support

For support, feature requests, or bug reports, please visit the plugin’s support
forum or create an issue in the repository.

### Privacy Policy

This plugin does not collect, store, or transmit any personal data. All ordering
data is stored locally in your WordPress database using WordPress’s standard `menu_order`
field and term meta.

### Credits

Built with ❤️ by wpunicorn. Uses WordPress’s built-in functionality for maximum

## انسٹالیشن

 1. Upload the plugin files to `/wp-content/plugins/post-order-control/`

## عمومی سوالات

### How do I reorder posts?

The easiest way is directly in the WordPress admin:
 1. Go to **Posts  All Posts**
or **Pages  All Pages** 2. You’ll see a new "Order” column with drag handles (⋮⋮)
3. Simply drag any row up or down to reorder 4. The order saves automatically when
you drop the row

### Will this work with my theme?

Yes! This plugin uses WordPress’s standard `menu_order` field, which is supported
by most themes. If your theme doesn’t automatically use the custom order, you can:

1. Enable "Auto Apply Sort” in the plugin settings, or 2. Modify your theme queries
to use `orderby => 'menu_order'`

### Can I order custom post types?

Yes! The plugin supports any public post type. Enable them in the General settings
tab.

### Can I order categories and tags?

Yes! Enable taxonomies in the Advanced settings tab, then drag and drop terms in
their respective admin pages.

### How do I display ordered posts in my theme?

Use the helper function `postordercontrol_get_ordered_posts()` or modify your WP_Query
to use `orderby => 'menu_order'`. See the plugin’s "How To” tab for detailed examples.

### Can I backup my ordering data?

Yes! Use the Export/Import feature in the Advanced settings tab to backup and restore
your ordering data.

I’ve been looking for this feature for a while. It would be great if you could add
the ability to drag pages under other pages to make them subpages directly (I know
this might require changing the URLs).
