SleekView Charts dashboard for Post Types Order

Drag-and-drop is fast. Auditing the result is what's missing.

Post Types Order lets editors drag posts, pages and custom post types into a chosen sequence by updating menu_order on every reordered post. The plugin's admin gives a per-type drag interface that's perfect when you're inside one post type. It gives almost nothing when the question is "how much of our content is actually manually ordered, and where are the gaps?"

SleekView Charts reads menu_order directly across every post type. A Number card shows total ordered posts. A Pie splits coverage by post_type so leads see which content types are fully sequenced and which still rely on default date ordering. A Bar groups ordered posts per author for accountability on large content libraries. An Area trends ordering activity per week, useful for catching the slow drift that happens after a launch when nobody is paying attention.

Because the data is on the standard wp_posts table, the dashboard works on every install that has the plugin active, and it tolerates the free plugin, the pro version and the older Simple Custom Post Order variants without any special configuration.

Workflow

Turn menu_order into a dashboard

1

Read menu_order across post types

SleekView reads wp_posts.menu_order joined to post_type and post_status, plus an ordered flag computed from non-zero menu_order, and surfaces them as chartable columns.
2

Compose the chart cards

Pick Number, Pie, Bar, Area, Line, Radar or Radial cards. Group by post_type, post_status, post_author or post_modified, and aggregate as Count, Sum, Average, Minimum or Maximum.
3

Save and scope the dashboard

Name it ("Editorial sequencing health", "Catalogue order coverage") and gate it by capability so editors, leads and ops each see the right slice of the audit.
4

Share or export

Send a read-only URL to the editorial lead or export the underlying filtered set to CSV. Quarterly content reviews start from a real coverage number instead of a vibe.

Sample dashboard

Charts you can build from Post Types Order data

Each card reads from menu_order directly. Mix them to build a dashboard for editorial leads, content ops or a launch retrospective.
Number · Default

Ordered posts total

Total posts with a non-zero menu_order. The headline KPI a content lead uses to know how much of the library is actually sequenced versus relying on default date order.
Count
Pie · Donut text

Ordering coverage by post type

Split of ordered posts across types: page, product, case-study, knowledge-base. Surfaces the types where manual ordering is consistent and where it's still missing.
Count group by post_type
Bar · Horizontal

Ordered posts per author

Grouped by post_author so editorial leads see which writers maintain sequencing and which leave new posts at menu_order 0. Useful for onboarding and review.
Count group by post_author
Area · Gradient

Ordering activity per week

Trend of posts whose menu_order changed in a given week. A flat line for months usually means the library has drifted out of date and is due for a re-sequencing pass.
Count group by post_modified

Comparison

Default Post Types Order admin vs SleekView Charts

Default Post Types Order admin

  • Drag interface is per-type, never an aggregate view
  • No KPI of how much of the library is actually ordered
  • No per-author accountability on sequencing discipline
  • Gaps in menu_order sequence stay invisible without a query
  • No trend of ordering activity to catch drift between launches

SleekView Charts

  • KPI card for total posts with non-zero menu_order
  • Pie split of ordering coverage across post types
  • Bar of ordered posts per author for review and onboarding
  • Area trend of sequencing activity over time
  • Filters carry between an audit table and chart cards on one dataset

Features

What SleekView Charts gives you for Post Types Order

Coverage as a real number

A KPI plus a per-type pie turns "how much of our site is actually sequenced?" from a vibe into a single number that an editorial lead can defend in a quarterly review.

Per-author accountability

A Bar of ordered posts per author surfaces writers who leave new content at menu_order 0. The right place for a five-minute onboarding refresher, not a yearly process memo.

Catch drift between launches

An Area trend of menu_order changes makes a six-month sequencing freeze visible. Drift after a launch is normal, drift forever is the thing the dashboard catches in time.

Audience

Who builds Post Types Order charts dashboards with SleekView

Editorial leads

Watch coverage by type, drift over time and per-author discipline. Plan a re-sequencing sprint against real numbers instead of "the knowledge base feels out of order".

Catalogue owners

On product or case-study post types, ordering drives discovery directly. The dashboard surfaces gaps so the merchandising lead knows where to focus a daily ordering pass.

Knowledge-base maintainers

KB articles read top-to-bottom in archive order. The KPI and per-type pie make it obvious when a new section was created without anyone setting its menu_order.

The bigger picture

Why drag-and-drop needs an aggregate check

Manual ordering is a great UX inside one post type and a quietly leaky governance story across a site. Every editor adds posts, most of them forget to drag the new post into position, and after a year the live archives show a strange mix of carefully sequenced content at the top and default date order underneath. The plugin's admin can't see this because it shows one type at a time.

A KPI of ordered posts plus a coverage pie makes the leak visible. A per-author bar turns it into an onboarding conversation rather than a witch hunt. A weekly activity trend separates a healthy library from one that's drifting.

Same menu_order column, completely different editorial posture.

Questions

Common questions about SleekView Charts for Post Types Order

wp_posts.menu_order across every post type Post Types Order is enabled on, joined to post_type, post_status, post_author and post_modified. No additional metadata is required, the plugin's signal lives on the core posts table.

 

Yes. Both plugins write to the same menu_order column, so the dashboard reads identically whether the site uses Post Types Order, its pro version or the older Simple Custom Post Order alternative.

 

Yes. Filter to non-zero menu_order, sort by menu_order ascending per post_type and use a chart card grouped by menu_order to see where the sequence skips. Gaps usually mean a post got trashed and the sequence was never re-tightened.

 

Yes. The default WordPress value for menu_order is 0, so the audit table includes them as the unordered baseline. A coverage pie typically splits non-zero (ordered) against zero (unordered) to make the gap obvious.

 

Yes. Apply a post_type filter on the underlying dataset and every chart card on the dashboard narrows to that type. The KPI then becomes "ordered case studies" or "ordered knowledge base articles" instead of a site-wide number.

 

Yes. Group by post_modified with an Area or Line card and aggregate Count to see weeks where sequencing actually changed. The trend is the cleanest possible test of whether re-sequencing is a habit or a one-off.

 

Yes. Any filtered set behind a chart card exports as CSV with menu_order, post_type, post_status, post_author and post_modified columns. Useful for editorial reviews and for handing a re-sequencing brief to a junior editor.

 

Yes. WooCommerce also reads menu_order for product sorting, so the dashboard naturally extends to a product catalogue. Filter to post_type = product to see ordering coverage across the shop and per-category sequencing health.
