Sorry about that, folks. Click on the sort order in the dropdown in the widget to reset it. I’ll fix this in 3.1 today.

It’s easy enough to add in, but the date field for links, link_updated, isn’t actually being updated by WordPress. If this field changed when links were added or modified, it would work.

Should this be added to the bug trac? It seems like a bug.

You may be putting spaces after the commas between categories. If you type your categories in like category,category,category, it should function normally.

Let me know if this solves it for you.

I don’t mean to step into this one late (or on anyone’s toes), but I think this it sort of is a valid security issue. Maybe the username is available in a bunch of other places, but the less you let an attacker know about what they did wrong, the harder it is for them to tell what they did right.

By making the error vague, you might not keep a dictionary attack from succeeding, but it might give the casual attacker reason to give up.

@donwpeterson, the ratings can be set in your blogroll.

@arudd: I was thinking about adding something like that in…

The sort order is random because it was the original intent of the plugin to serve up a random subset of links from a blogroll, but I have been considering adding sort order to a future release.

Shylmysten, your requests were rolled into the current version.
