By Far The Best Sorting Plugin!
WP Sort Order is hands-down the best sorting plugin for WordPress. Works great with all my ACF custom post types and taxonomies and also works a charm with Elementor on the front-end, no effort required. Fahad Mahmood (@fahadmahmood) thank you for a wonderful free contribution. I use your plugin on every site I work with.

Doesn't support custom post types as it says
I used JetEngine to make custom post types. The drag and drop works, but it does not change on the front end. Only worked for default wordpress post type.

Best all in one Sort Plugin with usefull setting and intuitive interface
Best all in one Sort Plugin with usefull setting and intuitive interface and capabilities/ permission settings So editors, which are allowed to create new terms/ categories are also allowed to sort the terms. Not common at other sort term plugins with much higher installation base. Thank you Fahad for this great plugin.Spencer
