How to set Custom Sort order for taxonomy terms using CSOM


I have created a taxonomy group in which I have a termset. In the termset I have created few terms. I want to change the order of the child terms for a particular term using SharePoint client side object model. In this blog you will see how to do custom sort order for taxonomy terms using SharePoint client side object model.

            // ClienContext - Get the context for the SharePoint Site

            // SharePoint site URL - http://c4968397007/

            ClientContext clientContext = new ClientContext("http://c4968397007/");

            // Get the TaxonomySession

            TaxonomySession taxonomySession = TaxonomySession.GetTaxonomySession(clientContext);

            // Get the term store by name

            TermStore termStore = taxonomySession.TermStores.GetByName("MMS");

            // Get the taxonomy group by name

            TermGroup termGroup = termStore.Groups.GetByName("Group");

            // Get the termset by name

            TermSet termSet = termGroup.TermSets.GetByName("Termset");

            // Set the sort order for the terms

            termSet.CustomSortOrder = "85e1983a-1ff7-4c46-9004-b64c4a74aa05:b2faeeb7-f9ab-47e9-b525-23cc1b98e394";
