  I have my categories in my sidebar sorted by “count”, in descending order. However, the count for categories with sub-categories doesn’t include the counts of each sub-category. Can this be changed?
  For instance:

  Cat1: 6 posts
  Cat2: 3 posts
  – Cat2A: 20 posts
  – Cat2B: 7 posts

  … It seems like Cat2 should count as having 30 posts, and be sorted above Cat1… but it ain’t. Is this possible?

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