# Re-ordering doesn't work! Help!

 * A common complaint we get is that the re-ordering works in the backend (the admin
   panel), but doesn’t reflect on the front-end (the public facing website).
 * When retrieving posts, third-party themes and plugins all do it differently using
   hard-to-predict arguments.
 * If you are a developer, simply modify your query (in get_posts, pre_get_posts,
   or WP_Query – [DO NOT USE query_posts](https://make.wordpress.org/themes/2012/12/14/query_posts/))
   to use orderby menu_order ([View developer documentation](http://codex.wordpress.org/Class_Reference/WP_Query#Order_.26_Orderby_Parameters)).
 * The plugin now has advanced options for modifying the default queries for retrieving
   post types, but you should consider this advanced usage of the plugin as there
   are bound to be side effects for globally sorting post types.
 * If you need any help creating your own query, create a [Pastebin](http://pastebin.com/)
   and we’ll do our best to help you.
 * Thanks so much for using the plugin.

 * Sorry, I still don’t see anything.
 * To avoid crowding this thread, please open a new support issue.

 * Hey, Ronald… I thought I’d try one more post rather than opening a new support
   issue, hope this is ok. I believe I have the pastebin you requested…I am new 
   to it:
