  I have a blog hosted elsewhere (Yahoo Hosting, actually) and I want to have the categories in alphabetical order on the sidebar. Can I do so? I’m sure I’ll have to go into the theme editor and change the code on one of the pages, but I don’t know which page to change or what code to add.

  Right now, in sidebar.php, I see this code:

  <?php
  if (function_exists('wp_list_cats'))
  	wp_list_cats('optionall=1&all=Alle&optioncount=1&children=1&hide_empty=1');
  else
  	wp_list_categories('optionall=1&all=Alle&optioncount=1&children=1&hide_empty=1');
   ?>
  		</ul>
  	</div>

  Is this the code I’d somehow change to make categories appear alphabetical? If so, what would I change it to?

  Then you’re in the wrong place. You need to be over at the site for the software at http://wordpress.org Like going into Wendy’s and asking for a McDonald’s Fillet o’ Fish. ;)

  You may want to take a look at the http://codex.wordpress.org and see if you can answer your own question.

  Good luck,

  Wait a minute. Which blog are we talking about here anyway as Donny’s is hosted here at wp.com? Is this a different blog or that one? I’m confused.

  I have several blogs. I do have my personal blog here (and a handful of others) but this particular blog in question is hosted on Yahoo (The blog in question is: http://www.corningford.org to be specific – that makes it easier to understand why I want the categories in alphabetical order).

  Thanks for the link to the other site. I’ll repost there if I can’t figure it out on my own.

  For the record, I found the answer on the forums at wp.org in this thread:

  Thanks again!
