   Hi,

   just writing to let you know that your excellent plugin is broken in WP 2.8.3.

   The orderby statement in the PHP seems not to work anymore.

   This upgrade has also broken a couple more plugins.

   Sorry to be the bearer of bad news

   I think that I am done with the plugin. Too bad. I just launched a new WP site for a client: over 200 posts with My Category Order...and now the site is BROKEn since My-category-Order does now work!!!

   Since 2.8, this plugin has not worked very stable.

   I am off to try to find a new category plugin. Too bad, I really liked this plugin.

   I second this result :-(

   Love this plug-in and hope for an update soon.

   Me too. As soon as I upgraded to 2.8.3, I got a mySQL error message.

   This is what the Hostgator tech help said:

   Looks like this was caused by the my-category-order plugin. I moved the directory (/home/shem/public_html/wp-content/plugins/my-category-order/ to /home/shem/public_html/wp-content/plugins/my-category-order.old) and this resolved the error at the top of the screen. I went and downloaded the newest version of WordPress but was still getting this error. It seems this part of the query "ORDER BY order ASC" is incorrect (where oder ASC needs to be tt_order ASC or something similar).

   In the mean time, the website is no longer displaying any errors, but you may want to get a hold of the plugin author to resolve this issue

   Why not just use http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/order-categories/ it still works just fine

   Was your taxonomy.php patched yet by visiting the ordering page? Order Categories handles the ordering without needing a patch to taxonomy.php, but mine does the ordering in the database like it would if it was built into Wordpress. Plus it's been like that for almost 3 years.

   I just auto-upgraded to the latest version , and I'm still getting the error message that caused me to deactivate the plugin after I upgraded to 2.8.3.:

   WordPress database error: [You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near 'order ASC' at line 1]
   SELECT t.*, tt.* FROM wp_terms AS t INNER JOIN wp_term_taxonomy AS tt ON t.term_id = tt.term_id WHERE tt.taxonomy IN ('category') AND ( t.term_id <> 1 AND t.term_id <> 9 AND t.term_id <> 46 AND t.term_id <> 48 ) ORDER BY order ASC

   Have you visited the page where you do the ordering?
