  I’ve created links in several categories, but now find that I would like to place the links in some of the categories in a different order. There doesn’t seem to be any obvious way of doing this, short of deleting the links and starting again.

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

  You can open the Link widget(s) and select the option Sort by Link Rating, then edit the links and assign rating numbers to them.

  An alternative would be to create custom menus in Appearance > Menus (one menu for each link category) then use Custom Menu widgets (one for each menu) instead of the Link widget(s). The items in a custom menu can be freely reordered by dragging.

  Thank you very much for a prompt and helpful reply. I’ll try both.
