# Permalink When In Multiple Categories

 * I want to list a post in multiple categories, but I want to be able to choose
   which category shows up in my permalink structure. Right now no matter what order
   I pick the categories the lowest id number is always the one that is used. Any
   one know how to make it so it is whatever I pick?
 * I tried creating the post and only picking the category I want first. Then going
   back and updating it with the others, but it changes the link again.
 * I’d rather not use a plugin, but if that’s what it takes.
 * Hopefully the answer to this isn’t blatantly obvious because I searched for this
   a lot.
