Get current menu_order

2 comments

1. If you have the post with an $id:

   $thispost = get_post($id);
   $menu_order = $thispost->menu_order;
   

   WordPress itself does not provide a function to get the menu_order, so you have to query the post-Object. If you are outside the loop, you can use the above function, however inside the loop you could also achieve this by:

   global $post;
   $menu_order = $post->menu_order;
   

   The Menuorder is mainly used for Database Queries, as the Name says, do determine the Order of the output (if the menuorder is selected to be the order criteria).

2. You can try following code:

    get_post_field( 'menu_order', $post_id);
