Reorder Categories - Plugixa FAQ for WordPress

Reorder Categories - Plugixa FAQ

POST /plugixa-faq/v1/categories/reorder

Set menu_order on several categories at once.

Any signed-in user with the plugixa_faq_edit capability or WordPress’s edit_posts (Contributors and up, by default).

Note. An item without id or menu_order is skipped silently, and unknown ids change nothing. The answer is 200 either way.
