 * How do you change the order of the categories as they appear. I’ve found where
   to change the order of the links themselves, but not the order of the categories–
   which seem to appear alpabetical right now…

 * Use spaces, it’s the guaranteed way.
    When entering a category name, put spaces
   in front of the name. It will still look fine. More spaces, higher up the list
   displayed. It works – honest!

 * Or a degree of ingenuity in the way they are named can help. It can be fun choosing
   cat names to get them in the right order. Xfiles would obviously go low. A Team–
   well you get the idea ;).

 * It’s kinda funny. I figured out the adding-spaces technique on my own yesterday.
   Then today I discovered this thread. Adding spaces to the front of categories
   does work. And the spaces don’t seem to actually show up when you view the page,
   which is very nice.

 * Spaces don’t work for me, neither plugins. Anyone, any idea? Thanks!
