   Hello

   I've set up a page which displays child categories using
   <?php wp_list_cats('sort_column=id&optioncount=0&use_desc_for_title=0&child_of=8'); ?>

   That is, I have a category called called Journal (with id=8), and its child categories as: Issue 1 (id=9), Issue 2 (id=10) etc.

   When the page is displayed, the child categories are ordered by their id:

   Issue 1
   Issue 2

   But can they be ordered in reverse, so the latest journal issue is listed at the top?:

   Issue 2
   Issue 1

   thanks in advance

   Here's the documentation for wp_list_cats()
   http://codex.wordpress.org/Template_Tags/wp_list_cats

   Looks like there's a sort order in there.

   Thanks for the quick reply.
   Yes, I did look at that.
   I've tried using 'sort_order', but it makes no difference.

   I'm uncertain whether it works on child categories?

   The child categories seem to be listed by their id, in a descending order (the lowest number first)
