Custom Taxonomy Sort is a WordPress plugin designed to provide users with a straightforward way to define and display taxonomy terms in a specified order. This plugin addresses the limitation of WordPress, which only allows sorting taxonomies by name or ID. After installation, users can assign a custom 'tax-order' value to each taxonomy term via the add or edit taxonomy screen. The terms will then be automatically sorted based on this value, allowing for a clear and organized presentation of terms.

In addition to its automatic sorting feature, Custom Taxonomy Sort offers a manual mode for developers seeking more control over term display. Users can disable automatic sorting and utilize a custom sort order in specific instances by adjusting settings on the Custom Taxonomy Sort Settings page. This flexibility allows terms to be sorted either in ascending or descending order, enhancing the overall functionality for WordPress users who require tailored taxonomy displays.
