Easily control the order of Categories and any hierarchical taxonomy with a simple drag-and-drop interface. Reorder parent and child terms visually in the admin and choose whether the plugin automatically applies your custom term order to front-end queries.
After activating the plugin, a new Taxonomy Order page becomes available under the custom post type menu. Simply open it and drag terms into the exact order you want — including parent/child hierarchy.
Use the plugin’s Taxonomy Order screen to drag terms into the order you want. To apply the custom order automatically across your site, enable the Autosort option — the plugin will adjust term queries on the fly so your chosen order shows without template changes. If you prefer to control ordering in code, include orderby => ‘term_order’ when calling get_terms() to use the plugin’s order programmatically.

Absolutely, you can!
Unlike many other plugins, you don’t have to do any code changes to make your post order to apply, accordingly to custom-defined order. There is an option to auto-update the WordPress queries so the posts will be returned in customised order. This can be turned off (Autosort) to allow customized code usage.
Include a ‘orderby’ => ‘term_order’ within your get_terms() arguments.
You can sort ALL taxonomies ( hierarhically active ), including the default Categories.
Absolutely, the plugin can do that. In fact you can configure so only the admin will update and the front side template will display the terms as before.
All ideas are welcome and i put them on my list to be implemented into the new versions. Anyway this may take time, but if you are in a rush, please consider a small donation and we can arrange something.
