Position in Sitemap

Hello, I apologize for the inconvenience. Yes, it is possible to change the sequence of output from the HTML Sitemap in Rank Math. You can do this by configuring the “Sort By” option in the HTML Sitemap settings. You can choose to sort the items in the HTML sitemap by Published Date, Modified Date, Alphabetical, or Post ID. Here’s a screenshot of the “Sort By” option in the HTML Sitemap settings:

You can access the HTML Sitemap settings by navigating to Rank Math SEO → Sitemap Settings in your WordPress dashboard. Once you’ve configured the “Sort By” option, don’t forget to click on the Save Changes button to save your settings.

If you have any other questions or need further assistance, feel free to ask.

Hello,

Thank you for contacting us and sorry for any inconvenience that this issue might have caused.

You can use the following filter to change the order of the HTML sitemap:

/**
 * Filter: 'rank_math/sitemap/html_sitemap/sort_items' - Allow changing the sort order of the HTML sitemap.
 *
 * @var array $sort {
 *    @type string $field The field to sort by.
 *    @type string $order The sort order.
 * }
 * @var string $type     The item type.
 * @var string $name     The post type/taxonomy name.
 */
add_filter('rank_math/sitemap/html_sitemap/sort_items', function ($sort, $type, $name) {
    return $sort;
}, 10, 3);

Hello,

Can you please try to use the following filter on your website and see if that works for you?

add_filter( 'rank_math/sitemap/html_sitemap_post_types', function( $post_types ) {
	$post_types[0] = 'page';
	$post_types[1] = 'post';

	return $post_types;
} );

You’ll have to include the other post types in sequence.

Here’s how you can add filter/hook to your WordPress site: https://rankmath.com/kb/wordpress-hooks-actions-filters/
