# Order Custom Posts

 * Custom posts on my site are added via the functions.php file. They are displayed
   in the admin as their own section. 
   (Hence this post – [https://wordpress.org/support/topic/ordering-custom-post-types/](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/ordering-custom-post-types/)–
   isn’t relevant since it relates to a plugin that creates them)Is there a snippet
   of code I can add to the functions.php file so that I can use this plugin to 
   reorder the custom post pages in the admin to my preference?
 * THANK YOU!

 * Thanks for the question [@michael-divine](https://wordpress.org/support/users/michael-divine/).
   There’s a couple different approaches you can take to make this work, see [here](https://wordpress.org/plugins/simple-page-ordering/#can%20i%20make%20my%20custom%20post%20type%20take%20advantage%20of%20this%20plug-in%3F)
   for both of those options.

 * ….except: going off the page changes the sort order back to ‘by date created’(
   I think). Is there a way to have it default to ‘sort by order’?
