 * The drop box at [http://rocketllama.com/ongoing/](http://rocketllama.com/ongoing/)
   has things listed out of order. I can’t imagine why Special Editions got listed
   between #136 and #137. That’s neither chronological nor alphabetical. How do 
   I control the order of items listed?
 * A related question: How do I make the list hierarchical? We need a clear distinction
   between those that fall under Modern Webcomics and those that fall under Original.
 * Thanks.

 * Hi
 * Your categories are sorting in Category ID order. That basically means in the
   order in which they were created.
 * The answers to your questions are found on two Codex pages. Take a look and see
   if you can resolve them yourself. If not, ask questions about what you’re not
   clear on.
 * In these writeups, pay attention to the orderby parameter and the hierarchical
   parameter.
