Hi,

The categories block displays the category names in alphabetical order. Is there any way to over ride it and dictate an alternative order in which I want them to appear?

Hi,

I've searched. The only method I can find is to number them in the title. This is not ideal. Can they be ordered by category ID?

From 1246656911:

The only method I can find is to number them in the title.


Of course, with this method, the prefix number is removed when the category name is displayed.

I don't know any tips to sort according to the ID.

Forgive me. I thought the numbers would appear in the category titles. This is perfect, thanks!

No, if this is exactly entered like this (a '.' and no space) :
01.Categ1
02.Categ2

01. and 02. will be removed.

In addition, you can also do this :
10.CatC
20.CatA
30.CatB

So that you'll be able to insert future other categories (if needed).
