I got it figured out and it of course was very simple. Sorry to have started a thread for this.
Not as convenient as a plugin, but this bit of code does the trick if anyone else needs it:
<?php query_posts('category_name=thecategoryname&order=ASC'); ?>
<ul>
<?php if ( have_posts() ) : while ( have_posts() ) : the_post(); ?>
<li><a href="<?php the_permalink() ?>" rel="bookmark" title="Permanent Link to <?php the_title_attribute(); ?>"><?php the_title(); ?></li>
<?php endwhile; ?>
</ul>
<?php endif; ?>
