  Hey guys,

  I saw how to do this on WordPress.org but since we don’t have any FPS access I assume it cannot be done by any method there? It was altering wo_category or something like that.

  Is there another method for doing this with blogs hosted on WordPress.com?

  Cheers,

  Korabikka

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  We cannot edit templates and themes on WordPress.com blogs.

  Sorry for the double post, what I mean by this is instead of:

  Z
  B
  C
  5

  I.e. in the order they were created. Instead, I would like it automatically sorted to list as:

  5
  B
  C
  Z

  Thanks!

  Categories will be displayed alphabetically. The only way to override that is to insert numbers prior to the words into the Category title.

  Example 1: no numbers – alphabetical display
  apples
  bananas
  cherries

  Example 2: insert numbers – numerical display
  1 cherries
  2. apples
  3. bananas

  Hmmm I just thought of something else. If you need to display your categories in a specific order, you can create a Custom Menu then add Categories to it in the order you want.

  You can also simply put them in a text widget in any order you want and call it Categories. As long as you add each category as you create it, it will work exactly the same as the regular categories widget.
