Mods to sort categories in simple drag and drop

Classipress only has the option to order the categories by name and post ID. With this mods, sorting of the ads categories can be done in simple drag and drop.

As always, make a backup of the files involved including the database just in case something is not working right.

Step 1. Before installing the plugin, you need to modify some codes in the theme-functions.php;

A. In line 1771 look for the code below;

and replace it with this;

B. In line 1803 look for the code below;

and replace it with this;

As you can see we have only changed the "orderby" parameter in the above codes.

Step 2. Install the modified plugin (attached) and activate it. Go to the Wordpress Admin>>Posts>>My Category Order. In the Taxonomy dropdown option choose "Ads Categories and click on "Change Taxonomy". You will then presented with the lists of categories of which you can re-order through drag and drop.

The modified plugin is based on the popular "My Category Order" plugin which can only order the standard post categories and not custom taxonomies.

There you go.
