I can confirm this. Hope someone takes over development of this. It’s a definite must for several of my sites.
is there any alternative out there
This is unfortunate. I don’t use this plugin, but it sounds like there may be a simple fix if someone can identify the precise problem(s).
On a quick scan, at least one problem area may be in modules/taxonomy/class.php at line 305. Before this some logic should be added to check for the occurrence of ” AS tr” in the initial $pieces[‘join’] value and if there is we should append " LEFT JOIN tr ON (tr.term_taxonomy_id..." instead of re-specifying $wpdb->term_relationships AS tr again.
There may be other occurrences of similar issues elsewhere, but I’m pretty sure this is the direction of a solution.
Changing the line specified by @bcworkz (modules/taxonomy/class.php:305) to
$pieces['join' ] .= " LEFT JOIN $wpdb->term_relationships ON (tr.term_taxonomy_id = tt.term_taxonomy_id AND tr.object_id = 0)";
solved the problem here. It’s a really good plugin, perhaps someone should release a new version of it… “Anything Order II” maybe?
Because this plugin last updated 3 years ago, we fork it and rewrite taxonomy part. Now ordering number save in termmeta table. Please, check Anything Order by Terms plugin.
I posted our fix for this @

Can’t live without this plugin!
