   Here's my situation:
   I have a category - Work.
   In that category are 20 or so posts currently.
   I have them displayed alphabetically on that category page all fine.
   My problem is this:
   When I click on the post, and view it's page, the next/previous links are in chronological order.
   How can I get those in alphabetical order?

   well, I was able to make a custom function to do what i wanted:

   function nextLinks($tp)
   {
   	$wp2 = array();
   	$i=0;
   	$pOrder = array(
   			'category_name'         =>	'work',
   			'orderby'		=>	'title',
   			'order'			=>	'ASC',
   			'nopaging'		=>	true,
   			'posts_count'	=>	5
   				);
   	$workPosts = get_posts($pOrder);
   	foreach($workPosts as $wpost)
   	{
   		$pid = $wpost->ID;
   		$wp2[$i] = $pid;
   		$i++;
   	}
   	$pnum = array_search($tp,$wp2);
   
   	if($pnum-1 >= 0)
   	{
   		$pre = '<a href="'.get_permalink($wp2[$pnum-1]).'" title="'.get_the_title($wp2[$pnum-1]).'" class="floatLeft"><'.get_the_title($wp2[$pnum-1]).'</a>';
   	}
   	if($pnum+1 < count($wp2))
   	{
   		$nxt = '<a href="'.get_permalink($wp2[$pnum+1]).'" title="'.get_the_title($wp2[$pnum+1]).'" class="rightArrow">'.get_the_title($wp2[$pnum+1]).'></a>';
   	}
   	echo $pre . $nxt;
   }

   if there's a simpler, or built in way to do what i want i'd love to know

   Just found a plugin which does this and also provides more customisation features for Next/Previous links. It's called 'Next/Previous Post Links Plus' and it's by Ambrosite.
