 * Hi,
    does this plugin sort categories within posts too? Can’t see any settings,
   although I thought the global setting ‘auto sort’ would work that way.. any idea
   how I can make it work in posts? Thanks!!

 * Hi
    You may want to check with this plugin instead [Post Terms Order – per Post based](https://wordpress.org/plugins/post-terms-order/)
   The Autosort feature will apply the sort without requiring any code change.

 * great, thats almost perfect!
 * I just have already 540 posts, daily more.. is there a chance to set the order
   of the parent-categories once for all? The way it works with “Category Order 
   and Taxonomy Terms Order”? What I’ve seen so far, the pro version doesn’t cover
   for this as well, does it?
    It’s your plugin, right? Really great work!

 * Unfortunate there’s no such functionality available, as the posts can contain
   different terms so a one time sort will not be possible. But i think you can 
   use the **Category Order and Taxonomy Terms Order** plugin to create a “global”
   sorting then use the **Post Terms Order – per Post based** to make adjustments
   where need.

 * what do you mean? so I can use the Category and Taxonomy Terms Order Plugin to
   sort the categories in the post meta-section? Is it complicated to create that?
   I would have to touch the code, right? I’m really new to all this…
