FAQ

[](#faq)

[](#does-this-create-new-database-tables)

No. There are no new database tables with this plugin.

### Does this modify existing database tables?

[](#does-this-modify-existing-database-tables)

Yes. The `wp_term_taxonomy` table is altered, and an `order` column is added.

### Can I query and sort by `order`?

[](#can-i-query-and-sort-by-order)

Yes. Use it like:

```
$terms = get_terms( array(
    'taxonomy'   => 'category',
    'depth'      => 1,
    'number'     => 100,
    'parent'     => 0,
    'orderby'    => 'order', //  'ASC',
    'hide_empty' => false,

    // Try the "wp-term-meta" plugin!
    'meta_query' => array( array(
        'key' => 'term_thumbnail'
    ) )
) );

```
