# Reorder meta_boxes

 * Is there a way to reorder the meta_boxes for the custom taxonomies? When I go
   into a single post I see on the right side: Publish, my different taxonomies 
   I have setup, and Featured Image meta boxes. I would like the Featured Image 
   to show below the Publish box and then my taxonomies. I know they can be reordered
   by dragging and dropping but we would like to be set differently by default. 
   Thanks for any help on this.

 * I am not 100% sure but I am hopeful there are ways to change that detail. However
   it’s not something we try to handle at all with CPTUI. At best, I think the order
   in which taxonomies are created with CPTUI, which in turn dictates the order 
   in which they’re registered, would handle their little section. However, putting
   them above or below details like the featured image metabox is outside that.
