Yes. When re-ordering any parent post will automatically re-orders its child posts with them after clicking “Save Order” button. Apart from this, you can also re-order child posts within in the same parent post.

What if some of my old posts/pages/CPT’s are not displaying in MPTO Order options?

If previously or older posts/pages/cpts are not displaying then simply save/update it again.

Incredibly Useful Plugin for Post Type Reordering!

By Satish Dharavia (satishnavjivan) on June 24, 2025

This plugin is a game-changer for managing custom post orders. I love how I can create multiple reordering interfaces for different post types — it's flexible, user-friendly, and works seamlessly with complex content structures.

The drag-and-drop interface is smooth and intuitive, and the ability to manage multiple custom orders independently is perfect for advanced use cases.

Support was responsive, and the plugin is well-coded. Highly recommended for anyone needing fine-tuned control over post ordering! 💯
