    I've created a category called articles and it shows up on the main navigation menu, specifically situated where its at.

    Does anyone know how I could re-order it so taht it sits elsewhere on the navigation menu. i.e. nearer the end

    The rest of the items on the menu are Pages.

    Thanks a lot for your help
    Ronnie

    If using the template tag, wp_list_categories(), to display categories, look at the orderby= argument.

    Also a plugin:

    the plugin is great but its not making a difference in this case.... as the other items on the main horizontal navigation menu are pages

    you wouldn't have any other ideas michael?

    thank you for your time, appreciated

    Ah, then maybe the technique here might help then you can use the Order field for the Pages:

    thanks a micheal, it didn't quite sort ouy the category order issue but did help me find the answer to something else i was working on in linking from pages to another site.

    the category is okay as is, and i'm going to add further subcategories to it, and post to them all. but the menu re-ordering is another story.. it seems a simple thing but proving otherwise.

    i'm just going to keep it as it is, and change the category name... and move on ......... as i've been on this one for days, and it may drive me nuts in the end up

    thanks a lot for you help michael, i really appreciate it!

    This thread really helped me to create what I wanted. I just added the "Page Links To" plugin as suggested and now only have pages. Thanks MichaelH.
