Menu Order Shuffler (WordPress Snippet)

# Menu Order Shuffler (WordPress Snippet)

A lightweight WordPress snippet that enables the native menu ordering functionality across all public post types, including WooCommerce products, allowing custom drag-and-drop ordering through WordPress admin.

Purpose

WordPress by default only allows page ordering. This snippet extends menu ordering to:

• All custom post types
• WooCommerce products
• Custom post types that don't support page-attributes

Implementation

// Enable menu_order support for all public post types
add_action('init', function () {
    $post_types = get_post_types(['public' => true], 'names');
    
    foreach ($post_types as $pt) {
        if (!post_type_supports($pt, 'page-attributes') || $pt === 'product') {
            add_post_type_support($pt, 'page-attributes');
        }
    }
});

Usage

1. Add to theme's functions.php or use with a snippet plugin
2. Go to any post type list in admin
3. Use the "Order" column to drag and reorder
4. Changes reflect on the frontend based on menu_order

Post Types Affected

• Posts
• Pages
• WooCommerce Products
• Custom Post Types

Additional Features (from full snippet)
