My Category Order<\/a> allows you to set the order in which categories will appear in the sidebar. Uses a drag \nand drop interface for ordering. Adds a widget with additional options for easy installation on widgetized themes.<\/p>\n\n

Big Update!<\/h4>\n\n

My Category Order has been out since WP 1.5 or 2.0 (2006) and it's been a struggle to keep it working smoothly. The taxonomy.php hack was hideous and a filter finally got added that let me avoid this. No more visiting the My Category Order page after every single Wordpress update!<\/p>\n\n

As of version 2.8.6 of the plugin I'm breaking backwards compatibility to add new features like a multiple widget instances. Keep using version 2.8.3<\/a> if you are not on WP 2.8 yet.<\/p>\n\n\n

    \n
  1. Install and activate the plugin<\/li>\n
  2. Go to the \"My Category Order\" tab under Posts and specify your desired order for post categories<\/li>\n
  3. If you are using widgets then replace the standard \"Category\" widget with the \"My Category Order\" widget. That's it.<\/li>\n
  4. If you aren't using widgets, modify sidebar template to use correct orderby value:\n wp_list_categories('orderby=order&title_li=');<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n

    Installation Instructions<\/dt>\n
      \n
    1. Install and activate the plugin<\/li>\n
    2. Go to the \"My Category Order\" tab under Posts and specify your desired order for post categories<\/li>\n
    3. If you are using widgets then replace the standard \"Category\" widget with the \"My Category Order\" widget. That's it.<\/li>\n
    4. If you aren't using widgets, modify sidebar template to use correct orderby value:\n wp_list_categories('orderby=order&title_li=');<\/li>\n<\/ol><\/dd>\n
      Why isn't the order changing on my site?<\/dt>\n

      The change isn't automatic. You need to modify your theme or widgets.<\/p><\/dd>\n
