   I'd like to display sub categories and their description. So far I have been using the code below:
   

   <?php
   $categories = get_categories("title_li=&orderby=id&hide_empty=0&child_of=1");
   foreach ((array) $categories as $cat) {
   ?>
   <h2><a href="<?php echo get_category_link($cat->cat_ID); ?>" title="View all posts in <?php echo $cat->cat_name; ?>"><?echo $cat->cat_name; ?></a></h2>
   <p><?php echo $cat->category_description; ?></p>
   <?php } // end foreach loop ?>

   I recently installed the My Category Order plugin and in their documentation it asks you to use:

   wp_list_categories('orderby=order&optioncount=1&hierarchical=0&title_li=<h2>Categories</h2>');

   I'd love some help to integrate the code above with the plugin call.

   Thanks in advance.

   What if you change:
   

   orderby=id

   to
   

   orderby=order

   Appears this is what's specific to the plugin.

   Hmm - Changing the parameter did not order the list. I also tried changing:
   

   $categories = get_categories("title_li=&orderby=id&hide_empty=0&child_of=1");

   TO:

   $categories = wp_list_categories("title_li=&orderby=order&hide_empty=0&child_of=1");

   But that didn't help either.
