Rearranging the order of the links in Links widget
-
Hi,
I am wondering if there is a way rearrange the order of the links in the links widget. Right now, the default is alphabetical. I have numbered them in the dashboard, but they’re not showing up in that order on the blog.
Thanks!
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

The Categories you assign to the links can affect the order they appear in. Please read these entries to discover how to make changes

Thank you.
I think I get all of that. I have all of the links in all of the categories that I want. But, within one category, I would like for them to appear in an order other than alphabetical.
When I am in the dashboard view, I am able to accomplish that with the filter, but it does not apply in the blog/public view. Should it? Or, is that not possible?

Please paste the URL of your blog when asking questions here, or link your username to your blog (as explained in the Sticky 8 Things to Know Before Posting). We usually need that to give a relevant answer.

There’s no way you can change the order directly (other than adding numbers, letters or other symbols before the link names). What you can do is write the links in a text widget. Quick way to do it: select “View Source” in your browser (while on your actual blog page), copy relevant code section, paste in text widget, rearrange.
If you’re not familiar with html coding for lists, the section to copy should be like this:
<ul class='snap_preview xoxo blogroll'> <li>[link code here]</li> <li>[link code here]</li> <li>[link code here]</li> [etc.] </ul>
