You can toggle the thumbnails for posts to make an easier identification upon the order you want/need. This is a nice feature especially if you make the order upon the content of the post types thumbnails.
If automate sort is required, this can be achieved through the Automatic Order functionality. The post types will be re-arranged using the selected criteria by Creation Time, Post ID, Post Name, Post Slug, Author, even Random Order. So if you need to alphabetize the posts order within a category or any taxonomy term you can chose Name, then the plugin will take care of that on the fly, while everything else stay as required (either custom re-order or no change). Or maybe need to randomize the order for a certain area, you just need to select Random and watch the results on front side. No need for theme code change! The plugin take care of everything, you just pick the option
A powerful Conditionals engine class provide an easy management of sorting apply area of your site. Simply create different sort lists of same type (i.e. post category), customize a different order, apply conditionals to match the exact sections on front side. Conditionals can also be used to exclude sort appliance for certain areas.
The order can be customized within default WordPress post type archive list page or a separate Re-Order interface which displays all objects.
It allows reordering the posts for any custom post types you defined, including the default Posts. Post Order has never been easier.
As you can see just a matter of drag and drop and post ordering will change on front side right away.
If for some reason the post order does not update on your front side, you either do something wrong or the theme code you are using does not use a standard query per WordPress Codex rules and regulations. But we can still help, use the forum to report your issue as there are many peoples who gladly help or get in touch with us.
You can sort ALL post types that you have defined into your WordPress as long they are not hierarhically defined: Posts (default WordPress custom post type), Movies, Reviews, Data etc..
Problem:
I have created a non-hierarchical custom post type. Until recently, when I re-ordered a Toolset CPT using Post Types Order (with menu order selected in the view), there was no problem. Now, a CPT view displays correctly on the front end the first time I re-order the items, but then it stops working completely on the front end, no matter how many times I attempt to re-order items.

I am not familiar with this plugin, please check these in your website first:
1) Deactivate other plugins and switch to wordpress default theme, and test again.
2) If the problem still exists, please take some screenshots for how do you setup the View and the custom post types, and describe detail steps to duplicate same problem, I need test and debug it in my localhost, thanks
I did as you suggested and deactivated all plugins other than Types, Views and Post Types Order. I then activated the Twenty Sixteen WP theme - but I had the same problem. The custom post type re-orders fine in the admin area, but this is not reflected on the front end (except the first time you do it).
In the View I have tried both default ordering (by date) and menu order. I have tried every variation possible in the Post Types Order settings, but nothing seems to fix it. The standard posts re-order fine, but not the custom post types. As I said, this used to work fine with Views, but not any more.
Using the Advanced Post Types Order plugin, you can re-order any default WordPress post types or custom post types on your site. For the purpose of this tutorial, we will use the Avada theme and re-order our Portfolio custom post types:
Post Type Builder (PTB) is a WordPress plugin that allows you to create custom post types with custom fields, taxonomies, and post type templates. This is a video tutorial that breaks down everything you need to know on how to create your own custom post types. The tutorial is really simple and easy to follow as we've divided it into 4 different stages:
WordPress post types only offer the standard fields such as title, content, featured image, etc. Meta Box allows you to insert custom fields that are tailored to the custom post types. The fields you create here will appear in the Meta Box panel when users add/edit a post. For example, if you are creating a "Property Listing" post type, you would need meta data like: price, area, lot size, property taxes, etc.
PTB plugin comes with a shortcode generator which allows you to display the custom post types anywhere by using shortcodes. Note that PTB shortcode generator is only available on the WordPress's Classic Editor. If you are using the new WP Block (Gutenberg) editor, you can write the shortcode manually or install the "Classic Editor" plugin.
Taxonomy is a grouping mechanism for custom post types (ie. taxonomies are like categories). For example: if you creating a Property Listing post type, you would need taxonomies like property types, number of rooms, parking spaces, and baths.
If you are a developer and need to export the post types to a child theme or plugin, you can use Generate PHP feature to export the code. Once you exported the code, you can paste them in a child theme functions.php or as a plugin. This feature is strictly for developers with coding knowledge. If you are not a coder, you should use the PTB import/export tool.
The [ptb_field] shortcode allows you to display the custom field value in the post. Note that the ptb_field shortcode must be in the post loop in order to show (ie. the shortcode must be present in the content where the post has the custom field value).
Custom sources have additional options to order their items. Mind that the item order of page sources are defined by WordPress. Depending on whether the custom source is a post, category, tag or a user, there are different order options available.
Toolset allows you to connect posts to other post types using One-to-one, One-to-many and Many-to-many relationships. This way you can create additional related sources and map their fields into your layouts. Learn more on how to create relationships in the Toolset documentation.
By default, WordPress comes with a few different post types, for example pages and posts. Posts have their own taxonomies, namely categories and tags. To better group and manage your content in the WordPress administration, you can register new custom post types with their own taxonomies. For example, if your website does movie reviews, you can create a custom post type called Movie.
YOOtheme Pro fully supports registered custom post types and taxonomies. This means you can use the YOOtheme Pro page builder to create individual layouts for a custom post type or to create templates for their index, archive and single post pages and map their fields and custom fields into your builder layouts. Custom post types and their taxonomies are available as page and custom sources and can be used in the same way as the WordPress default post types.
Note Some pages can contain different post types in their page source. Since post types usually have different fields, you need to decide which fields will be available for mapping. This is why the page source Items is available multiple times. It contains the same items from all post types. This applies to the date and author archives, the search as well as to taxonomy archives if they are shared across post types.
With the Custom Post Type UI plugin you can easily register and manage custom post types and taxonomies. Open CPT UI in the WordPress administration menu, click Add/Edit Post Types and add a new post type by entering a Post Type Slug, for example movie, as well as Plural Label and Singular Label.
By default, the number of posts displayed per page can be set under Blog pages show at most in the Reading Settings in WordPress. This option applies to all post type archives including custom post types.
With the the Advanced Posts per Page plugin you can set the number of posts per page for archives of custom post types and custom taxonomy archives. Additionally, you can set it for the search, date and author archives.
To allow custom post types also to be ordered by popular posts, click the settings icon in the upper left. Add the name of your custom post type in singular, for example, if your custom post type is Movies, add movie after post,page.
For a piece of software with its roots firmly in the world of online writing, WordPress users are often surprised by the absence of what seem like obvious bits of blogging functionality. A classic case in point is the lack of easy default ways to re-order your blog posts.
Post Types Order and Advanced Post Types Order: This plugin attempts to resort all custom post types. This messes up the sorting on our ticket screen among other things. In fact, any plugin that indiscriminately changes the sort order of a custom post type will not work with Awesome Support.
I am using a child theme derived from twentythirteen. I wanted to have my posts displayed in chronological order(ascending). I tried adding the code from this answer to index.php but for some reason that didn't seem to work. So instead I got the plugin "Advanced Post Types Order" and that seemed to work fine, in regards to displaying the posts in the right order.
By default, WordPress displays your blog posts to visitors in reverse chronological order, so the newer posts appear first. However, sometimes you may want to change this order and prioritize different content instead.
