    Hi,

    I would like for my categories to not display alphabetically, but I can't figure out how to get them to list in order of...say page id. Any suggestions how to do this. I'm using cutline's 3 column split city theme, though I'm using the categories widget, not the default sidebar.

    Thanks for your help!

    Hello:

    I have the same question as Suzanne above with the same theme Cutline-3-column-split-1.1. plus a problem with listing category names by their parent-child hierarchy.

    Can the post categories listing be sorted in anther manner other than alphabetically by the category names? Can I set a custom sort order? I can do so in an "ugly" way by simply using numbers in the category names...

    01 Pears
    01.1 Apples
    01.2 Oranges
    02 Apricots

    ... but is there a prettier, invisible way of setting the list order?

    My other problem is with the category list sorting alphabetically by all the category names rather than by the nesting parent-child hierarchy I had set up using the Dashboard>Manage>Categories editor.

    After installing the theme on a fresh WP install, I entered some sample categories and set some up as children of a parent category. At first, the nested parent-child hierarchy displayed just fine in the right sidecolumn where the theme displays the category list "out of the box".

    Then I used the Widget editor to move the Categories list from the right sidecolumn to the left sidecolumn. After I did that, I lost the nested parent-child hierarchy.

    Thanks in advance for any help here.
