Arraging links
-
Is there a way to arrange the links on a sidebar in a different order than the default? The categories would stay the same, I just need the links to be in a different order within each category.
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

Thank you. Other than grouping them alphabetically within each category, there doesn’t seem to be a way other than numbering them.

Oh duh, I found this after another search

Thanks for the link, but it appears that the Filter button only sorts the links as you’re viewing them on the Edit page, and not on the blog itself.

To arrange your links in a non-alphabetical order, you must remove the Links widget and use a Text widget instead, coding the links as an unordered list.

Long ago in the mists of time there was another way involving punctuation marks, but I can’t find it anywhere on the forums now and am no longer sure it works anyway. It was something like, use one . for the first entry, two .. for the second so
.blogroll item one
..blogroll item two
…blogroll item three -
I have the same problem, I can’t even tell in what order it is sorting it for me. my blog is not in English, and I really need the links to be in order. can I order by link ID at least ?
They are links to my older posts, I tries the recent posts widget but I can only display 15 links with it, and I need much more.
Where would I put the .dots. ?

As mentioned in previous replies, links are ordered alphabetically, and you can only sidestep that if you use a text widget instead of the links widget.
You can select “view source” in your browser and copy your whole blogroll. It’s the part that starts with this:
<ul class='snap_preview xoxo blogroll'>
and ends with this:
</ul>
Paste it in a text widget, then copy-paste to rearrange the links any way you like. -

WordPress.com blogs can not use plugins.
wp.COM is different from wp.ORG.
