  Hi there.

  You’re currently using your theme’s default sidebar widgets. If you’d like to gain more control over the ordering of the links in the Links widget, then you’ll need to manually add that widget to your site’s sidebar.

  This can be done via Appearance > Widgets in WP Admin:

  https://communitycatfoundation.wordpress.com/wp-admin/widgets.php

  From the left-hand side, click and add the widgets you wish to appear in your site’s sidebar to the Primary Widget Area. The default widgets that you currently have in place are Search, Recent Posts, and Links. You’ll need to add all three of these to retain the current information you have in place in your sidebar.

  The Links widget is the one that we’ll need to edit in order to change the ordering of your links. If you click on that widget, you’ll see a ‘Sort by:’ dropdown menu that has the following options for ordering the links:

  * Link title is the default option that’s currently in place to sort your links alphabetically.

  * Link rating allows you to take control over the ordering. You will need to set the rating option for each link via the Link Manager:

  https://communitycatfoundation.wordpress.com/wp-admin/link-manager.php

  * Sorting by Link IDs will display the links in the order in which they were created.

  Let me know if you have any questions around that. I’ll be happy to help further if so.
