Reorder Custom Fields - Plugixa FAQ
POST /plugixa-faq/v1/custom-fields/reorder
Set menu_order on several custom fields at once.
Administrators only: the user needs the plugixa_faq_settings capability or WordPress’s manage_options. Needs Plugixa FAQ Pro: the free build does not register this route, so it answers 404 there.
Note. Unknown ids change nothing and the answer is still
200. Sendidandmenu_orderon every item.
