Anything Order vs Simple Taxonomy Ordering

This plugin allows you to arrange any post types and taxonomies with simple drag and drop within the builtin list table on administration screen. Features Support for any post types and taxonomies. Multiple selection is available. Capabilities aware. ‘edit_others_posts’ for post. ‘manage_terms’ for taxonomy. No additional column in builtin tables. No additional table in database.

Order all of the taxonomy terms on your site with a simple to use, intuitive drag and drop interface. The plugin works for WordPress core taxonomies — Categories and Tags — and any custom taxonomies you have created. Activate the plugin, enable your taxonomy on the settings page, and drag and drop the taxonomies into the desired position. It couldn’t be easier. On the front end of the site your taxonomy terms will display in the order set in the dashboard. Requires WordPress 4.4 or later due to the use of the term meta. Query Usage If you’re trying to query for taxonomy terms (e.g. using WP_Query or functions like get_terms()), and you’d like them to be returned in the order specified by the plugin, you need to add the tax_position parameter in your call. For example: 'meta_key' => 'tax_position' and 'orderby' => 'tax_position'. Thanks to @certainlyakey on GitHub for pointing this out.
