 * Hello,
    Yes, I read the faq and add `add_post_type_support( 'post', 'page-attributes');`
   in function.php But, no reorder on posts … Any idea ?

 * Hi [@jeanpoldupont](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jeanpoldupont/)
 * After adding `add_post_type_support( 'post', 'page-attributes' );`, when you 
   visit the `/wp-admin/edit.php?post_type=post` screen, you should see a **Sort
   by Order** link just above the Post list table. Once you click it, you should
   be able to reorder the posts.
 * Let us know if it works for you.

 * Hi [@nomnom99](https://wordpress.org/support/users/nomnom99/) I tried it and 
   didn’t work whatsoever, here is a video showing it:
 * Maybe I’m missing something? Can you help me?

 * Hi [@jnfdev](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jnfdev/),
 * As per the WordPress docs [here](https://developer.wordpress.org/reference/functions/add_post_type_support/),
   the function `add_post_type_support` must be called on the `init` hook.
 * Can you try the following:
 *     ```
       add_action( 'init', function() {
       	add_post_type_support( 'post', 'page-attributes' );
       } );
       ```
   
 * If this works for you then ignore the rest of the comment.
 * —
 * I confirmed this to be working on my WordPress setup with the [Twenty Twenty-One](https://wordpress.org/themes/twentytwentyone/)
   theme.
 * Can you try the same so that we can be sure the issue is not with the current
   theme in the video?
 * If it fails even with the Twenty Twenty-One theme, then would it be possible 
   to share the list of plugins active on your WordPress installation? It will help
   us to further debug the issue.
 * Please let us know.
 * Thank you.
