Our analysis
AI-assistedMy Post Order is a WordPress plugin that allows you to arrange your posts in any order you prefer, beyond the default sticky and sorting options. It offers functionality to select posts individually using a drag-and-drop interface, or to select posts from specific categories to change their order. Additionally, it can fetch posts from an XML/RSS feed based on a provided URL.
This plugin is suitable for users who need more control over the display order of their posts, particularly those managing custom post types or wanting to integrate external feeds. It works by creating sections of posts that can be displayed using specific queries or widgets.
Best for: This plugin suits users who require advanced post ordering capabilities on their WordPress site.

From the developer
Kapil Chugh's own description of My Post Order, lightly tidied.
While WordPress allows you to make your posts sticky, or even sort them in ascending or descending order, sometimes this is just not enough. What if you want to display the posts in ANY order you need? Unfortunately there is no such functionality in WordPress, which is where this plugin saves the day.
This plugin works on sections of posts, which you can define based on the following three criteria:
- Select posts individually : You can use the drag-and-drop feature to rearrange posts in ANY order.
- Select a category : You can also select posts from any category and change the posts order.
- Show XML/RSS Feed : Here you just need to give the URL of XML Feed and it will fetch latest feed/posts.
You can display ordered posts in theme with query_posts or get_posts or WP_Query like this :
query_posts(‘section_name=NAME_OF_SECTION’);
Here NAME_OF_SECTION must be replaced with your actual section name. If no section found with mentioned name then nothing will change.
OR
Once the sections are created, you can display these posts using widgets.
- If you are using custom template option in widget then template file should be placed in
custom-templatesfolder of your plugin (/wp-content/plugins/my-posts-order/includes/custom-templates/loop.php) and (/wp-content/plugins/my-posts-order/includes/custom-templates/loop_rss.php).
Now wasn’t that easy!
