The little detail that makes filters feel right

Default ordering is alphabetical or by post count. Neither is how people expect to see sizes, prices, or your featured brands.

How Custom Term Ordering works

No code, no settings — just drag and drop.

Drag to reorder

Grab any term and drop it where you want. Sizes in size order, best brands first — whatever makes sense for you.

it’s live instantly

Your filter shows the exact order you arranged — no extra save steps, no code, nothing to configure.

Drag. Drop. Done.

Reorder filter terms visually with a simple drag-and-drop interface. No coding, no extra configuration — just arrange your filters the way you want.

Works across your filters

Wherever visitors pick a term, you decide the order.

sizes in the right order

S, M, L, XL — not “Large, Medium, Small.” The single most obvious fix for any clothing or product store.
Small → Medium → Large → XL

Featured Brands first

Put your best-selling or featured brands at the top of the filter, instead of hiding them halfway down an A–Z list.
Nike → Adidas → the rest

Any taxonomy or attribute

Works with categories, tags, brands, product attributes, and custom field terms — in both Checkbox and Dropdown filters.
