  Hello,

  I would like to know how can I change the order in which the categories appear? right now they’re in alphabetical order, but I want to change that.

  Thanks!

  The Categories widget displays categories in alphabetical order only.
  What you can do is remove the Categories widget and use a custom menu instead: in a custom menu you can freely rearrange the items by dragging. You need to create a menu in Appearance > Menus and add your categories to it, then go to Appearance > Menus, add a Custom Menu widget, select the menu you created, save.
  Slight drawback: you’ll have to update the menu manually each time you add a new category.
  For more details on custom menus see this post of mine:
