   Hi there -
   I'm running a 2.1 blog. In the admin, I can't find where to change how links are displayed.

   My template uses get_links_list, which calls the list fine, but the 3 links I have are displayed in the same order, no matter if I rank them 1, 2, 3 or 3, 2, 1.

   In Blogroll -> Manage Blogroll, you can change how they're displayed in the admin, but evidently not on the site?

   In 2.0<, it used to be an option as displayed here:
   http://codex.wordpress.org/Links_Manager

   ...but no more?

   Thanks for your help.

   Any takers? I hope I'm missing something simple. I can't find anything in the docs on forcing the get_links_list to set by rank, and I still can't find the option in the admin.

   I'm having the same problem. I've just upgraded from 2.0.5 to 2.1 and all of my links are now sorted by name and not how I had them sorted previously. And there doesn't seem to be a way to sort them anymore.

   Have you tried orderby=rating using wp_list_bookmarks?

   Is there a way to sort other than by rank and individually for each link category?

   I had one link category sorted by descending URLs and another sorted by ascending IDs, with the rest sorted to the default (ascending names). Is there a way to do this in WP 2.1?

   I wonder why this functionality was removed?

   The wp_list_bookmarks appears dead, and searching for that function on the site comes up with nothing.

   All this functionality is still there.

   Yes. Read the documentation, paying special attention to the orderby and order parameters.

    Thanks, Otto. That's exactly what I was looking for. Don't know why I didn't see that before.

    It still would be nice to have that option back in the admin panel where it was before. But I'll live.
