    Hi, sorry if this has been covered, I could not find it. Can someone please tell me how to auto-arrange categories in the sidebar in alphabetical order. Currently, in Admin they are alphabetised, but in the sidebar they appear in the chronological order they were created.

    Thanks in advance. 🙂

    you’ll need to change the category call in your sidebar.php file. just follow the formatting in there

    Hello:
    I’m running 2.0.6
    had the problem of alphabetical order. In the sidebar template, I did the change suggested, and have this:
    <?php _e(‘Categories’); ?>
    </h2>

      <?php list_cats(FALSE, ‘ ‘, ‘name’); ?>

    That worked fine. All in alpha order.
    Problem now is that my child categories are no longer under the parent (but all on the same level: http://www.vicktorya.com/blog — i.e., all NATIONS should be under that NATIONS parent category)
    They ARE like that in the dashboard management for categories, but they no longer show up under the parent.
    (They did before I fixed them to go alphabetical

    — so I think I just lost something, but would appreciate the advice of what keeps the children under the parent)
    LOL —
    is this the child psychology forum?
    Thanks,
    Vic

    I’m running 2.0.6

    I thought we were at 2.0.4.

    ok, ok … details! 🙂
    righteo, I’m running 2.0.4
    you caught me (I like to live in the future).
    so, any hints?
    thanks,
    Vic

    Also, I lost the count that shows how many posts are in each category. So, I just need a parent/child fix, and category # fix. Much appreciation for any help. Vic.
