How to list Categories “my way”?

  • The way I would like to list categories in a way that do not fall under “by ID” or “by Alphabets”… over the period I’ve added more categories which I would like to list on the top but can’t do it if I try by using ID or Alphabets.

    Is there a way to arrange Category listing as per what I wish it to be?

  • So you mean you want the latest cat to be on the top of the list of them? You should be able to do that by ID and check the “descending” box (I think…. haven’t tried it myself….)

    Let me explain by example

    Lets say I have 5 categories

    ID Category Name
    1 ACategory
    2 BCategory
    3 CCategory
    4 DCategory
    5 ECategory

    I would like the category list in the sidebar to be displayed like this:

    DCategory
    ECategory
    ACategory
    CCategory
    BCategory…

    Is there a plugin that can move a category up and down… you know something like that queue in Netflix where you can move any movie in your queue up and down…

    Um. I have no idea what you mean by “queue in Netflix” – what’s that?

    As for mixing up the cats…. if it were me, because I’m a tweaker, keep good backups, and have no fear of dicking around in the database, I’d go change the IDs in the database, and then sort by ID. I’ve never tried it, so I honestly don’t know if that would work or not. AND I’m not advising you do that unless you’re very very comfortable with tweaking the workings of wp through the database.

    I don’t know of a plugin. Doesn’t mean there isn’t one – have you looked all through Plugins?

    read the description carefully, all information should lay there
