   Howdy

   Not much of a coder (obviously) but was able to modify the following (found) code so that it generates an unordered list which can be popped into a text widget and used in a sidebar, in conjunction with php-exec - works a charm

   Generates an unordered list of all the posts in a current category, great for sectional navigation

   Question - how can I alter this so that it generates an alphabetical list of posts?

   many thx in advance

   /max

   <?php
   if ( is_single() || is_category()) {
     $categories = get_the_category();
     if ($categories) {
       foreach ($categories as $category) {
         // echo "<pre>"; print_r($category); echo "</pre>";
         $cat = $category->cat_ID;
         $args=array(
           'cat' => $cat,
           'post__not_in' => array($post->ID),
           'posts_per_page'=>40,
           'caller_get_posts'=>1
         );
         $my_query = null;
         $my_query = new WP_Query($args);
         if( $my_query->have_posts() ) {
           echo '<h4 class="widget-title">'. $category->name . '</h4><ul>';
           while ($my_query->have_posts()) : $my_query->the_post(); ?>
             <li><a href="<?php the_permalink() ?>" rel="bookmark" title="Permanent Link to <?php the_title_attribute(); ?>"><?php the_title(); ?></a></li>
            <?php
           endwhile;
         } //if ($my_query)
       } //foreach ($categories
     } //if ($categories)
     wp_reset_query();  // Restore global post data stomped by the_post().
   } //if (is_single())
   ?>

   I'm unsure if it would work, but based on this page could you try adding 'order'=>'ASC' to your array of arguments?

   Thanks you gave me a good clue/place to google from

   this was what did it!

   <?php
   if ( is_single() || is_category()) {
     $categories = get_the_category();
     if ($categories) {
       foreach ($categories as $category) {
         // echo "<pre>"; print_r($category); echo "</pre>";
         $cat = $category->cat_ID;
         $args=array(
           'orderby' => 'title',
     'order' => 'ASC',
   'cat' => $cat,
           'post__not_in' => array($post->ID),
           'posts_per_page'=>40,
           'caller_get_posts'=>1
         );
         $my_query = null;
         $my_query = new WP_Query($args);
         if( $my_query->have_posts() ) {
           echo '<h4 class="widget-title">'. $category->name . '</h4><ul>';
           while ($my_query->have_posts()) : $my_query->the_post(); ?>
             <li><a href="<?php the_permalink() ?>" rel="bookmark" title="Permanent Link to <?php the_title_attribute(); ?>"><?php the_title(); ?></a></li>
            <?php
           endwhile;
         } //if ($my_query)
       } //foreach ($categories
     } //if ($categories)
     wp_reset_query();  // Restore global post data stomped by the_post().
   } //if (is_single())
   ?>
