   Hi all, I've scoured the codex and the support forums but cannot find the answer to my problem. I have categories with sub-categories defined for my theme inthe WP Dashboard.

   However, they display all as top level categories in no particular order. I want to see the sub categories indented underneath their parents, like you can see on this site:

   http://www.viper007bond.com/

   In my Sidebar.php, I've defined this:

   <?php wp_list_cats('sort_column=name&optioncount=1&hide_empty=0&hierarchical=1'); ?>

   But it has NO affect on the site. I am out of ideas. Any help is GREATLY appreciated.

   PS-I have not changed anything in my CSS. Is that the problem?

   The CSS may indeed be the issue. Do you have an URL we could peek at?

   Before we get too gung-ho here... I see 3 categories in your sidebar. Chocolate Bars, Gum and other. What's the hierarchy?

   It's very simple right now. Like so:

   *Chocolate Bars
   *Gum
   *Mint
   *Fruit
   *Other
   *Mints
   *Everything Else

   Ok. One of us is confused. :-)

   I see only 1 level of hierarchy there.

   Just for grins, make a category called "Butterfinger" and set Chocolate Bars to be its parent. Now you'd have some hierarchy. If you created a test post and gave it the butterfinger category, you'd see butterfinger in your sidebar -- and it would be indented.

   This problem could have been resolved using the Category Order 1.9.5 plug-in from http://www.coppit.org/code/
