If you have all FAQs displayed together (i.e. not using categories) and wish to control the exact order in which they appear, edit faq.php as follows:

Line 74
change $orderby = ‘post_date’;
to $orderby = ‘menu_order’;

Line 75
change $order = ‘DESC’;
to $order = ‘ASC’;

These 2 changes will change the sort order in the front-end display.

Line 45
change ‘supports’ => array(‘title’,’editor’,’thumbnail’,’excerpt’)
to ‘supports’ => array(‘title’,’editor’,’thumbnail’,’excerpt’,’page-attributes’)

This changes enables a new box “Attributes” in the FAQs edit admin (right hand side of page). There you’ll see a box called “Order”. Set the value of “Order” for each FAQ (1,2,3,etc) to set the order in which they appear. “Order” can also be set via the “Quick Edit” feature when listing FAQs.

Remember to keep careful note of changes made to this core plugin file as you will need to reapply the changes if you upgrade (deliberately or inadvertently!) the plugin.
